NDP makes sense?

At work I've been talking about my newfound interest in the NDP party, and one of my coworkers mentioned he watch Jack Layton on TV last night. "And everything he said... made sense". I know, it's weird. Weird because we've generally thought of ourselves as "right" and normally wouldn't even have considered the NDP.

Now they're not perfect, but no party is. In particular, I'd like a little more information on their commitment to "Cut wasteful and inefficient spending on tax giveaways to large corporations". While I may be leaning left politically lately, I'm still a believer in business and capitalism.
