Canada’s current tax policy says those that earn their income doing productive work, that creates real things, solves real problems, cares for real people, teaches real students, should be _taxed more_ than those who buy and sell what they already own to earn their income, who don’t work, don’t create, don’t solve, don’t care, don’t teach … “ this wave of wealth concentration began around the 1980s. It is no coincidence that this is the same period when Canada took a neoliberal turn, characterized by free trade agreements that benefitted capital over workers, growing privatization, and the end of federal support for non-market housing. All of these policies made it easier for wealthy private actors to accumulate wealth at the expense of everyone else.” #cdnpoli https://www.taxfairness.ca/en/resources/news-views/how-top-one-cent-threaten-canadas-future
