We don’t need corporate tax cuts that give the wealthy a break. We need to support Canadian workers, customers, and entrepreneurs from the bottom up.

You might say, “this is a rich jerk running his mouth, it doesn’t matter”. But these are the same people who can fund think tanks, buy news agencies, pay lobbying and PR firms, and buy access to government leaders. It’s a prime example of why we need to tax the super-rich.

Canadians are struggling to afford basic needs, while the rich are getting richer. We need a tax code that supports working Canadians. Emma Davis on the What She Said Podcast on how taxing the rich benefits all Canadians and why she is a member of Patriotic Millionaires Canada.

If you really want to know how detached-from-reality getting too rich can make you, this deranged lunatic thinks being a billionaire makes him a persecuted minority, and that suggesting he should pay taxes is hate speech. www.fastcompany.com/91537743/say...

Saying 'tax the rich' hurts wealthy men's feelings. Not taxing billionaires hurts everyone else

Emma is an all-star! "We’ve been conditioned to see taxation as a burden, but we can reframe this. Let’s celebrate a mechanism that allows us to collectively build a society that works for everyone. This year, I proudly paid the extra tax voluntarily. Next year, I hope the government makes me."

So many of the big global problems addressed at Davos are symptoms of an ignored one: extreme and ever growing levels of wealth inequality. Our tax code currently guarantees it will only grow (and grow faster). But it can be a tool to constrain it, and fund the fixes to its trickle down impacts

For the record: Canada is also a country with a massive amount of oil, and Trump has already spent significant time blaming Canada for drug problems in the US, so I don’t know why any Canadian leader with an ounce of critical thinking skills would cheerlead this.

Our tax code values money over sweat. It values already being rich over earning a paycheck. It values unproductive and even extractive investment more than actually working for a living. Until that changes, the tax code will guarantee wealth inequality in this country grows.
