“As I see it, the Canadians are a very proud people, and they are very offended this time,” Gerston said.
We’re not “very offended” you pusillanimous putz. We’re tired of your shit.

You know what’s interesting?
This is also good counterpoint to the “if we tax the rich, they’ll leave!” argument because, when the supply leaves, the demand doesn’t. Just like here, where Canadian (and central/south American, European, African, Asian, etc) products step up to fill the gap, if a rich person fucks off because we’re asking them to pay their fair share, there’s a really good chance that someone less greedy will step in to fill the gap because the demand is still there.
We spend far, far too much time lionizing the supply side of the economy, but it’s the demand-side that really matters.
Preach.
Also tax wealth, not work.
So when the rich leave, we would be worse off. That would mean the reverse would also be true: if there are more millionaires and billionaires, everybody should be better off. And the number of millionaires and miljonairs billionaires has gone up the last few decades, so cost of living should’ve improved a lot. It hasn’t. So tax them.
Well if we have more billionaires the average income will go up which in turn makes things more affordable (cost of living vs. average income). Numbers and statistics can say whatever you want with a bit of creative perspective.
