Up here, historically, it has been the right wing that has lowered
taxes, especially for the wealthier, and then gone on spending sprees,
driving up the deficit. They have also been deficient in infrastructure
spending (schools, hospitals, roads etc.) so that the centre and centre
left governments that follow have been forced to increase taxation to
pay for all those RW deficits and repair the damage.
