Federal budget 2024: Liberals failed to tackle “corporate greed,” Singh says

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh expressed disappointment in the Canadian government's 2024 budget on Tuesday, saying the Liberals "ignored the opportunity to take on corporate greed."
The NDP has a supply-and-confidence agreement with the minority-governing Liberals, which will face a federal election no later than 2025.
Global's Mercedes Stephenson breaks down Singh's comments on the budget and whether they could hint at the NDP voting against it.

Cut the entire government then. All MP salaries and jobs. Pierre is out of job, through! Oh, no problem, he's already super rich off private real estate speculation. All MPs are in the top 10% of income earners in Canada. They are elites. But which party has the most social support policies? Even if they all are elites, you can talk policy and see which would be better or worse for the lowest Canadians. Because if the lowest level Canadians benefit then everybody else can. As in, if Housing became a human right, like Universal Healthcare, the poorest Canadians would benefit as well as everyone else on up. But if housing was socially funded and managed, Pierre wouldn't be able to be so rich on exploiting people, he might be sad.

Singh doesn't understand the fundamentals of economics in a free trade market. Corporations move out of Canada if you increase corporate tax too much. Then you get no taxes from that company at all. If you have a factory that has 1000 employees making $100k per year, those workers are paying roughly $35k per year in income tax. That's $35 million in tax revenue, just from the income tax that the factory generates. Let's say that the factory makes a gross profit of $150 million per year, less $100 million in wages(which contributes $35 mill in tax). They then have $50 million for simplicity's sake (Not including operating costs outside of wages). Let's say they have $20 million remaining after all operating expenses. Now they pay another 28% tax on that. Another $5.6 million in tax revenue. That's a total of $40.6 million dollars that the government earns from that factory when the corporations stuck with 100% of the risk only make $14.4 million. How much more of that money does Jagmeet expect companies to cough up? They'll simply close their doors and move to a country with a more favorable tax structure.

USA has the most favourable tax structure for many major corporations. Very low taxes on big corporations, famously major corporations like Amazon and Wal-Mart paid $0 in tax. Yet USA is off the charts in horrible public health scores, violence, inequality, crumbling infrastructure and medical and college debts. USA should be the best place to live in the world BY FAR for every single person if this theory of low taxes on corporations so they don't leave is supposed to lead to a better society. It doesn't. Give it up. Capitalism is unsustainable. Inequality rises, corporations take over more and exploit more people to the detriment of the society at large. We need system change. How about economics for the 21st Century? As Kate Raworth explains "Doughnut Economics." How about that for a measure of public health of a country or region?

Might I suggest you open your mind and investigate more to find the truth? Check out "A Viable Society" talk by Peter Joseph and he has other great works like Zeitgeist: Requiem the film coming out and Culture in Decline series. Free market capitalism IS the problem and it has not 'worked for quite a while' by any scientific, public health framework.

Capitalism is structurally unsustainable and the way taxes work are a part of the symptoms of the sickness generated by a backwards social system. No politician I know of is even close to understanding this, but the socially progressive ones like NDP at least propose some mitigation policies and more social supports to give people a hand up. I wouldn't cry a tear if corporations were taxed out of existence as well as billionaires and mega-millionaires. Inequality is unhealthy and you don't have to take my word for it, take Dr. James Gilligan, who do loads of research on this topic. Doctors, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists are important roles in society among MANY important roles in society that should all be compensated well. If we change our thinking to the 21st century we stop worrying about national debt, which is grossly misunderstood and a perfect political scare tactic often used by Conservatives to not help people and give more power to corporations. We focus on things like "Doughnut Economics" put forth by Kate Raworth or One Small Town Contributionism by Michael Tellinger and we build local cooperation, collaboration and co-ownership towards a more prosperous and sustainable society for all.

A budget filled with debt that younger Canadians will be paying for their entire life and MP's They get lifetime of pensions and we get lifetime poverty

[@redstone5062]

We are going to end up like Argentina. Once wealthy with lots of resources, mired in debt and inflation and decades of poverty.

[@rowboat1972]

Boo this man!

[@AngelofDeath333]

I’m hoping the NDP will vote against this budget

[@ZenCorvus]

He will support it this guy supports everything trudeau does.

[@Kr0nicDragon]

Why would they go after the ones paying off their million dollar houses? (plural)

[@mikehocquard2843]

Translation: I want my pension.

[@derfderfson3836]

Easy Jagmeet, looks like Trudeau needs to tighten that leash a bit.

[@harps1974]

We know that corrupt National Disgrace party will support this budget lead by Singh he needs another year, to get his pension

[@stevenjohn1470]

So no incentive to be a doctor, Surgeon, dentist , or pharicist in canada with this income-tax. NDP are failing thier core values to support this liberal party

[@curtisc6429]

Jagmeet Justin is only in power because of you

[@staystrong8667]

But he will still back Turdie... SHAMEFUL

[@ronpeer7975]

Now we find out Jagmeet’s brother is a lobbyist for Metro. Has anyone noticed that when Jagmeet talks about corporate greed he only ever mentions Loblaws? this guy might be one of the slimiest politicians in Canada next to Trudeau.

[@kenpierard5161]

Corporate greed ? How ridiculous when our retirement investments are in Canadian corporations, we want them to do well .

[@flyboynextdoor]

As a shareholder in Canada I want the board FIRED and a board capable of proper management put in its place. FJT🖕🖕

[@karenacton3854]

You saw that immediately after dancing with the devil and did nothing to change it. You didn’t assert yourself with the devil and he beat you out.

[@philjohn5337]

Jagmeet Sixtynine will be forced to "PASS" it as his pension is on the top of his list and not Canadians...

[@chrislaverick6413]

Guy lecturing about greed considering the whole country is held hostage by his own greed for a pension, its going to be a brutally long year and a half wait for that election

[@marcelocipriani308]

And Singh keeps him in power.

[@stevenjohn1470]

Profitable tax paying industry pays tax paying employees. If you over tax a company they go away.. and no money = no tax income, no employees = no income tax income for the government. Less profits = less industry = less tax imcome for the government. No income for the government = failure. Failure = debt Debt = interest Debt + interest = more debt All this combined is the liberal government. So supporting this = more debt. More unenployed more poor. That is bad NDP. Dont support Bad
