Maybe the government should take all your assets. Oh I forgot your boy Justin is already trying to do that.
A warning from Bernie Sanders to America
- Thread starter nottyboi

Conrad Black set the tone for what may happen in the late 90's. He said the rights of billionaires must be protected above all other considerations. PM Chretien told him to go fuck himself and Black left Canada in a snit.
Now it looks like Elon Musk has achieved the goal where Black failed. Will Donald Trump remake America in Russia's image?

If they wanna take all but 100m when I die I am ok with that. Would you be upset if you inherited 100m?
LOL. I don't know anybody worth anything close to that. So a hypothetical question is irrelevant.
You might end up living in a tent under such a system.
not at all
i am quite correct
Exactly when has that ever happened ?
we have had income taxes since introduced as a temporary measure during WW1, so the experiment has been run for over a century
Trudeau has increased the overall tax burden on Canadians and the net result is a massive govt debt, record visits to food banks, a housing crisis , a cost of living crisis and the wealth transfer appear to be to liberal insiders STDC
but you will get it right the next time ?
not sure what your message is here
the left should not have promoted an airhead as a candidate
the left is just guilty of playing the lobby for campaign contributions/ personal wealth
US government shutdown: Elon Musk threatens lawmakers who vote to prevent 'outrageous spending' bill
Elon Musk, world's richest man, has urged Republicans in Congress to reject a stopgap spending bill that could lead to a partial government shutdown. Musk, a major supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, has been tapped to help prune the federal government and voiced his strong opposition to...economictimes.indiatimes.com
can you say hunter Biden ?
yes lobbying is shameful ,
democracy does beats the dictatorships that socialist ideals degenerate into
the headline of the article you posted was about tesla executives
you have shown nothing other than unachievable loonie left ideals
no, it is to drive efficiency in the operations to ensue the long term viability of the organization
an organization must be profitable / sustainable / competitive in order to
1.meet its customers demand
2 pay its employees
WTF you are very confused about why individuals start / run a business
it is to meet a market demand . - which greatly benefits society
nobody is incentivized to cut the American working class out the process and the wealth
that is just loonie left clap trap
that is just loonie left speak for not wanting to deal with reality
the individual pursuit of wealth produces a better out come than expecting reliance on the nanny state
you will soon see how 10 years of left policies plays out and it is going to be ugly

really, it could the fact you are not cluing in
billionaires have not agreed to give their wealth away via taxation
the left always talk about the fair share, but refuse to say exactly what is the fair share
the reality is tax the rich until they are rich no more
and you guess wrong
a rich and productive nation can provide lots to its citizens
a poor and unproductive country can not
you shall discovery this all too soon
you are fooling your self if you think Universal Health Care is sustainable in Canada
Trudeau and a a bunch of irresponsible liberal/ NDP provincial leaders have all but ensured Universal Health Care in Canada has become unsustainable
there is just too much govt debt and now there are too many unproductive people in the country
After his own party sunk him he endorsed Joe Biden...In the end he was as much of a shill as the rest of them
you are not qualified to decide any cut off level or make any claim on other peoples wealth
the top 0.001% are immeasurable on this scale and the wealth redistribution the left screams about is to the green
they want to tax the rich out of spite, but still want their slice of the theft
finally if the income of all the non green people rises to about $4000 us / year people start focusing on their surroundings / environment as life becomes less of a day to day ordeal of survival
declaring a CEO deserve to be murder is disgusting and unbelievably petty
what a horrible thing to say
the loonies paint the victim as deserving to be murdered.
tomorrow you will support bail reform to get violent criminals back on the streets sooner
that is so messed up
Except there will always be people left behind if it's privatized. You need to stop trying to justify this. The minute you said it's a parent's responsibility for their child, you really said it's NOT also the responsibility of a citizen society to care for those in need. You are saying that if the parents can't afford the Healthcare then the child dying is societally acceptable.
It's the ol' Libertarian no one else matters excuse.
I counter an uncaring society is not a productive one, a society of dick workers is an unproductive one. A society that beats down its working class into poverty is one ripe for civil unrest.
You think that CEO death is random? It's a symptom. You think Elon doing what he is doing is new? Look at the Robber Baron's of the 1920's. You think a right wing SCOTUS is new. Same thing. Pandemic? War weary nations? Wealth concentration? Oligarchs? Rising populist sentiments changing political dynamics? Migrants crisis?
History is repeating itself. And it's going to get ugly.
Clinging to trickle down theory is pretty sad.
It hasn't worked in 50 years of trying.
Denying 32% of healthcare claims is more disgusting. For profit. Fuck him. He paid for protection from the politicians to run his middleman scam. They couldn't protect him.
It was ONE OF HIS OWN THAT DID IT. The killers family is a prominent one, 1%ers with elected officials in the family. Well known in the area. That's how bad this CEO was.
He was a drug dealer writ large who shorted his customers. Fuck him.
you have not required any significant public health care for sometime
2 years wait time of a hip replacement in bc
a trip to the emergency ward is a whole day affair if you are lucky
do not tell me what i need to do
it is the parent's responsibility for their child
no i am saying do not have a child unless you are willing to accept full responsibility for that child, including their health care
one can be quite charitable if one gets to decide
you want to steal the option to decide from others
Trudeau just ran the caring / woke society experiment for 9 years
it did not go well
Canadians generate $50 of GDP per hour worked
Americans generate $80 of GDP per hour worked
the cost of housing in Canada is way higher than in the states
the cost of living in Canada is way higher than in the states
the cost of taxation in Canada is way higher than in the states
we produce less and spend more and fuel the difference via debt / money printing
and we need to compete with our largest trading partner
how long do you think we can keep that going ?
no it was a murder of an innocent man ( likely a husband / father, not a thought about his family from you ) by a Wako seeking to blame others for his misfortune
you are trying to justify vigilantly justice by calling it a "symptom." of society
vigilantly justice is chaos
it usually does get ugly when the failed socialist experiment is repeated
if he broke the law , let law enforcement deal with him
it was a cold blooded murder of an innocent man
the killers family is irrelevant
vigilantly justice is chaos
lol you are completely wrong.
You live in Canada and have medical coverage.
If you get cancer or need surgery, will you tell the hospital to forward all charges to your credit card? I think not.
Trudeau has nothing to do with this. He's just an bad politician in general. Money doesn't fix bad policy, it's a completely different argument.
You just don't want the wealthy to pay, period. That's not right. you're wrong.
You don't believe in a democray, you believe in a Plutocracy.
You're acting like the richer someone is the more valid their position is. This is how third world countries operate, which is where America is heading.
No my friend, you are confused and delusional.
The reason for running a business is to return profits to owners/investors.
You are acting like a puppet and a puppet only says what the man with his hand up its ass tells him to.
To call the warning of Oligarchies influencing the political process a left policy or idea is pure ignorance.
You don't care about Democracy, you don't care about the American people and you don't care about the country they live in.
This has nothing to do with being left or right. It's just Common Sense.
If a handful of people are hoarding the wealth and a growing pool of people can't make ends meet, what direction will society go? It's not difficult to see where this is going.
