In this episode, Kim G C Moody discusses the rhetoric of “tax the rich” and having them “pay their fair share”. This old and tired line was resurrected recently in the 2024 Canadian federal budget with the budget proposal to increase the capital gains inclusion rate. Do successful Canadians already pay their “fair share” of tax? If so, how much do they pay as a percentage of the whole? Is there room for them to pay more as the government of Canada wants them to do? What are the consequences of attacking successful Canadians? This episode discusses this and more and what Canada should do instead.
