Canadians want a wealth tax and are willing to vote for it

Spouting clichés is not a substitute for thoughtful debate. And by the way as far as I know the people of Canada who are governed want roads and police and security and hospitals and bridges etc. None of these things are free.
Post condensed for clarity.
Poll: 56 percent say wealth tax is part of solution to inequality
A majority of voters in a new Hill-HarrisX poll said wealth inequality is a significant problem facing the country and a wealth tax is part of the solution.Fifty-six percent of registered vote…thehill.com
we managed to pay for roads and police and security and hospitals and bridges etc just fine without a wealth tax
BTW hospitals are major recipients of very generous donations from the same group you feel entitled to steal from
For every stupid action, there is usually an unpleasant reaction
Please do not insult anyone by trying to claim government waste is not out of control
My guess is Justin Trudeau gave Billions away trying to secure a UN security seat. & failed
He also spent 4.0 Billion on the Kinder Morgan Pipeline, because he painted himself into a corner
Just for fun he once committed Canada to 600 million via tweet to Trevor Noah
It will likely be decades before we find out how many billions he funneled to his friends via government contracts i.e SNC
I know for a fact government grants to Envoirnut NGOs skyrocketed. The same NGOs who are working very hard to shut down Alberta. Gerald Butt's handy work
and now there will be Billions promised to buy votes????
and you have the nerve to make a claim on other peoples wealth to pay for that massive pile of corrupt and disgusting waste?
The answer is No!
Time to wake up
odd choice of words
I would have chosen "And by the way as far as I know the people of Canada expect their government to
You seem quite confused about the role of govt.
Its purpose is to serve the people of Canada, not control the people of Canada

ah the lonnies
Here I will repeat it so that it sinks in
"You do not get to unilaterally define the boundaries of the discussion"
besides most small business owners strive to be a wealthy individual
That is generally why they take on the financial and operation risks and work 80 + hours a week
And now there is risk that some lunatic government will decide being successful and wealthy is now a sin requiring punishment.
Or some lunatic government will decide it wont manage its finances responsibly (promises wins votes!) and instead tax target those that do manage their finances responsibly
This is the exact reason so many basement residers kick the ball all the way home. It isn't even their ball as they can't afford it.
As the old saying goes, the comfort of rich depends on having an ample supply of the poor.
The poor should stop drinking the kool aid. Canada is the most social and economic mobile society in the world. If you can't make it here, you can't make it anywhere.
Since when did getting rid of the rich ever benefit poor people?
French Revolution?
Russian Revolution?
China Revolution?
Iranian Revolution?

I am surprised we haven't had any direct Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead quotes in this thread.
There has been rich and poor throughout
since word go
it is part of human nature
some people can create wealth , others not so much
what is bewildering is you think you can actual fix this ie correct human nature
what is alarming is you think you can steal from others to try
Holy FUCK!!! I said all THAT?
Really?
Are you naively making assumptions about me or you one of these twats who scans these boards daily looking for stupid arguments to start?
Either way, piss off, I don't recall asking for your "insight".
There has also been rape, murder and war throughout history.
I guess that means you're ok with all of that as well.
No you quote me, so I said it
You made you position clear enough.
I am just pointing that position is flawed
Yes Really
Don't get your panties in a knot
If you are going to post "The comfort of the rich depends on an ample supply of the poor" , you can expect a someone will have
if you are going to support a wealth tax you can expect a someone will have
You are more than welcome to put me on ignore, but do not tell me to piss off for explaining the truth to you
