Or the type of government Larue favours, which gives more tax breaks to the rich. Take Trump (please), his new tax break for the middle class stands to save him $23 million and his swamp gang $3.5 billion, but unfortunately it will most likely raise taxes on the middle class. Bring on the dollar stores!

Do not misrepresent me !!!
I favour more tax breaks for all Canadians.

Canadians are taxed way too much
As for you....
You seem to think you can make a claim on other peoples income and their assets to re-distribute.
Sorry they tried this almost a hundred years ago in Russia and several generations paid a massive price to determine the Marxist experiment was a very bad idea

Do you ever take your own advice?

Yeah sure, its usually sound wisdom
Then please stop misrepresenting my claims.
Changing taxation based on income and taxing the rich a bit more is not a return to the 'Marxist experiment'.
Take your own advice, please.

Loopholes ?
You mean like the tax planning tools to ensure it is not more expensive to pass the family farm onto a farmers children as opposed to selling it to someone else?
You mean the tax planning tools that enable growing businesses be able to obtain capital from parents or other family members ?
You mean loopholes that will enable doctors to prosper and remain to practise in small towns in Canada? We are going to need every last doctor due to an aging population.
Tax targeting doctors may prove to be a nightmare down the road
Broaden your perspective JohnLarue; you sound like the CFIB. There's more than one angle to every issue. Even as a small business owner myself, I recognize that.

Even if the October announcement was a knee-jerk reaction to the outcry, which I agree is likely, it's still the right thing to do: both closing the loopholes and providing the tax break. Of course there's going to be outcry about the loopholes closing. The special interest groups who lobbied for them are pissed! Doesn't mean it's wrong to close them.

Yep,... you are correct.

I guess I was basing my assumption on the fact that so many small business owners went public to show their condemnation.
That was the feedback and thus the adjustment. To me its quite balanced. Income sprinkling, huge amounts of passive income do not serve the underlying policy of giving small business a favorable tax rate.

Cause and effect,...

But one has to understand why small business owners would make any effort to try and keep a reasonable amount of income they put their lives, and own capital into.

The Governments own example of a small business owner making $220,000 per year,... would lose $79,000 of what he/she erned to taxes.

That to me,... is counter productive.

But you see the way the small business tax works, is the 220K is taxed at 9%. It only becomes income if it is taken out of the business as income. Some can also be taken out as a tax free dividend (I think 30-35K) when you allow income sprinkling a business owner can give each family member an income even of they are not involved with the business and do not get any money. Also, businesses were keeping money in the business and passive income was being taxed at 9%. The money is either supposed to be reinvested in the business or taken out. So to me this is good policy. Now they can earn up to 50K a year passive income and the rate goes from 12.5 down to 9. Also income sprinkling (which IMHO is fraud) has stricter criteria and some professions are not eligible in certain circumstances.

when you target other peoples assets and income it most certainly is
Wealth re-distribution without regard for the consequences is your objective, just like in Russia 1920s

think about what you are demanding please, then give your head a shake

If it was the right thing to do they would have announce the tax break and changing the tax planning tools both in July
since they did not , it highlights their ready shoot aim approach
Anytime someone makes a knee jerk reaction the odds of the solution working decline tremendously

Attacking small business owners is one of the most foolish things I have observed a government do
And Granny Wynn has been setting the fool bar pretty high

Doesn't mean it's wrong to close them
attacks on Framers and doctors will hurt us all
Attacking the small business owner is a terrible thing to do to an economy. I cannot stress this enough
Of coarse it is wrong to close these tax planning tools

I posted the governments example,...of a small business,...
"The Governments own example of a small business owner making $220,000 per year,... would lose $79,000 of what he/she erned to taxes".

Are you saying the government is wrong,... ???

Of coarse its going to be taken out as income,... why else would anybody own a business,... to make $50k per year,... ???

You are the one that thinks this was about assets, not me.
And we are talking about 1970-1990 or so Canadian tax policy, not your misrepresentedclaims about Russia.

You were the one who thought it would be a good idea to tax the holders of governments bonds - Those are assets
I suspect you did not understand how the debt markets work, however your intent was quite clear. Steal the property from the more successful in our society (Bourgeoisie) to give to the unsuccessful (proletariat)
It is a fools plan

And we are talking about 1970-1990 or so Canadian tax policy, not your misrepresentedclaims about Russia.
Wealth re-distribution without regard for the consequences is your objective, just like in Russia 1920s.
It is as about as clear as clear can be

Do you honestly think you can advocate making a claim on other peoples (Bourgeoisie) wealth for redistribution (to the proletariat)and not have parallels draw with communism ???
Further more your refusal to clearly indicate your preference for wealth redistribution vs economic health shows you want wealth redistribution without regard for the economic consequences

I did not misrepresent you, as you have painted yourself and you painted yourself red

No, I questioned you about a quote from you that sounded like you were worried about taxing assets. It came up because of your poor use of the language.

[Wealth re-distribution without regard for the consequences is your objective, just like in Russia 1920s.

Are you really comparing the progressive tax rates of the '90's in Canada with Russia in the '20's?
Or are you just misrepresenting me, which you requested me not to do?

I am not sure what you mean, is that before or after the changes? But at 9% a small business owner would only pay those kind of taxes if he took a bunch of money out and paid it to him/herself as income.

No you clearly stated you want to tax government debt
Frankfooter said:
If you are trying to claim that the 1% own the banks where government debt is held, then nothing would be smarter then to tax a bit of that to pay off the debt. That's just stranded money that you and I are paying, while the 1% let it sit and make money off it.
My language caused you to post that??
I do not think so

You clearly have an intent / demand / need / unhealthy fixation to tax government debt which is an asset

Are you really comparing the progressive tax rates of the '90's in Canada with Russia in the '20's?
Nope, I have never once mentioned the 1990s, but I am pretty sure they did not tax assets in the 1990s, so its not a valid comparison for you

Or are you just misrepresenting me, which you requested me not to do?
I am not misrepresenting you
you have stated many time you want to take from one group and tried to justify it as "for the betterment of all."
That's what happened in Russia in the 20s

Now when you misrepresented me, you indicted I favour tax breaks for the rich, however I have been clear I favour tax breaks for all Canadians. Those are two very different things.

Note that this is the start of the quote you used:
If you are trying to claim

This was an answer to your claim, and I wasn't talking about taxing stranded debt, I was talking about taxing the 1% who are in the process of stranding debt before it becomes more stranded debt.

Once again you are misrepresenting me.

This argument has been about returning progressive tax rates to rates used in Canada in the '80's and '90's, not about taxing assets.
That is what you have repeatedly compared to Russia.

That is misrepresenting the arguments made here.

You want to tax someone else's asset. Period
It makes no difference if you think it is stranded money of not. It is an asset which is the property of someone else and yet you feel you can make a claim on it

This argument has been about returning progressive tax rates to rates used in Canada in the '80's and '90's, not about taxing assets.
That is what you have repeatedly compared to Russia.
No amount of back peddling will change these facts
1. that you want to redistribute wealth from the rich to the not so rich via taxation
2, You refused to clarify the extent you are willing to go to achieve this unachievable dream. I asked you a least a dozen times to clarify this with a simple Yes or no answer to a question. You refused to answer a dozen times.
3. And you clearly indicted you would also tax assets (just a little !). That is definitely a red (pardon the pun) line.

You painted your self and I am not misrepresenting you
