Mike Campbell认为,加拿大自由党政府提高资本利得税的决定反映了加拿大社会存在的严重政治分歧,即优先考虑政府干预与优先考虑经济增长之间的矛盾。他指出,政府的这一举动并未以促进经济增长为理由,反而使用了过时的阶级斗争论调,暗示高收入者没有公平纳税。他认为,提高资本利得税不利于经济增长,因为它会阻碍必要的资本投资,从而损害生产力和生活水平。他还批评了政府在财政赤字和债务问题上的处理方式,认为这与之前的自由党政府相比,发生了显著的左倾转变。他认为,自由党政府优先考虑政府在社会中的更大作用,导致更高的税收、更多的监管和更强调财富再分配。相比之下,保守党则可能优先考虑提高生产力和吸引资本投资。
