It's always austerity for the working class.
i agree that the rich need to be taxed, but i don't think taxing these rich people is what will solve most of our problems.... taxing a few thousand rich people who made $1M on stocks or whatever is a drop in the bucket compared to our real problems.
what are the real problems? billionaire oligarchs plundering our country. what are the exact steps to fix the problem? i'm not smart enough to figure it out. but we can start by ending corporate handouts, or things like oil companies sticking us with the cleanup bill when the leave town. fix price gouging on groceries and telecoms. i think actions like these are going to have a huge impact on the prosperity of working canadians versus an increase in a capital gains tax on the moderately rich.
The working class ain't "rich" people though
lots of working class people are going to be hit with these capital gains taxes...
i am probably going to get hit by this tax increase and i'm not particularly wealthy. but i don't care either way, if i'm taxed, then i'm taxed
my point is that there are bigger fish to fry, rather than going after dentists or whatever moderately wealthy people.
people online seem to think that anyone with a portfolio of investments is basically on the same level as galen weston....
I think you missed something here. There was a mention of austerity for the working class. I said it's always austerity for the working class. Yes there are bigger fish to fry that had nothing to do with what was said.
