Mexican legislators will back President Felipe Calderon’s plan to raise taxes and cut spending, helping the nation avert a credit-rating downgrade and extend gains in stocks, bonds and the peso, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Putnam Investments say.
Lawmakers from the PRI are split over some aspects of the proposal, especially a plan for a 2 percent consumption tax on all products and a proposed 4 percent tax on telecommunications services.
Excise taxes such as levies on beer, gambling, the lottery and tobacco, will probably be approved. Lawmakers also agree on a proposal to temporarily increase income taxes to 30 percent from 28 percent.

The day that taxes are "temporarily" raised may be a long time coming. Anybody know of anywhere that actually happened? Lizzy

"Income Tax" is only temporary.

The trouble is that "temporary" has been going on since before I was born. They really need to tack a time limit on "temporary." Lizzy

"From cradle to grave" is not "Income tax"

My Grand Son got his SIN card (social insurance number) with his Canadian birth certificate, my kids got theirs when they started their first job.

Maybe the gubermint thought the little gaffer would start earning income with those first (gas?) smiles:)

Or maybe. It had something to do with something else. Like being born in Mexico.
And repatriated to Canada. At nine months. Maybe need phone up, some local Canadian ladies, to see, if their newborns are issued with SIN cards.

The times. They just keep a'changing. Dang-nab-it!
