I'm going to vote yes just because I can't get past how the tax was brought in. Plus who's to trust Christie that she will really reduce it to 10% in two years?
The HST adds 800 million per year to govt revenue and transfers 2 billion a year from business to consumers. So from a consumer's perspective it is hardly revenue neutral. I haven't seen prices drop to reflect business' savings so to claim it saves the consumer money seems like bullshit to me.

Voting against the HST because of dislike of Campbell is dumb. Campbell has been tossed aside and the HST is the better tax regime.
