More of the same. More spending, more debt, more taxes, more inflation, higher interest rates....

Raise the corporate taxes to 22 % so they can pass that down to the population. Smart math Liberal.

Dude, it was corporations that largely caused inflation - they will always use any excuse possible to raise prices

With all the paper printing ramping up (they call money they don’t have a budget), one would believe politicians are pretenders of wealth. 😂 So power is an illusion after all. “Please accept this pallet of freshly printed paper for your resources. No worries, we have others who must spend energy and time for this valuable paper.”

Looks like Pierre is about to get another boost in funding from Canada's wealthiest.

[@user-kv4kp4co1r]

When corporations enjoyed tax cuts, did they invest significantly? The response is negative. They were mainly amassing greater profits by simply retaining their assets, without spending any money on enhancing productivity. There has been a notable shift of wealth from the working class to the affluent in recent times. It’s now the moment to recoup some of the profits from the wealthy and insist they pay a fair amount of taxes. Some may contend that this could result in capital outflow, but it’s not as straightforward as it appears.

[@kimblem.w9952]

You know they'll just pack up and leave right?

[@bogeybichon7000]

NOTHING is stopping "workers" from working together and risking their own capital to create or run a business. When it comes to risking their own capital, all of a sudden workers become capitalists.
