I agree 100% in increasing the GST.... 

inevitable when you want to decrease other taxes.. you still need to keep the money coming in fairly... the more you earn the more you spend and the more GST you pay. 

People are so against paying taxes but they are a part of life... it is only via more income in that the things we expect governments to pay for can be afforded. 

And with the GST all people can pay a bit of tax... even those on government payments...
