Do I smell austerity for the working class?

I'm fine with a lower inclusion rate if we cap it at a fixed dollar threshold.

If you make $1M in a year from capital gains, just tax it 100% as income.

The real problem with this is executives getting paid primarily in stocks and paying a lower average tax rate than the middle class because 50% (currently 33%) is excluded.

Also, Freeland being the #2 in Trudeau's government, and all her policies being to undo the things they did looks bad to me. I can't shake that either she was ineffective or they were just bad ideas.

There's nobody good to vote for.

Perhaps not good but less bad is what we look for.
