HEY CANADA

Let’s tax the rich

Last week, the Liberals presented their latest budget. Here are the highlights: A $36 billion “mega deduction” for big corporations and investors


No new measures to tax the wealthy


No boost in healthcare funding for provinces

If you’re a major CEO or a billionaire, this budget is an early Christmas gift. If you’re one of the other 41 million Canadians, it’s an insult.



That’s why we’re demanding a wealth tax now.


Instead of handing major corporations yet another present, we can implement a modest tax on the very richest Canadians to generate $40 billion a year.



With that money, we could invest in the things that actually improve people’s lives – healthcare, housing, public grocery stores.


Add your name below to demand a wealth tax so we can fund meaningful investment into nation-building projects.

What’s missing from this budget is obvious – major public investments designed to improve people’s lives.



We’ll never fill that gap by collecting less tax revenue from those who profit the most. Instead, we can fill it by taxing fortunes over $10 million at a rate of 1%, rising to 3% on the very richest.



With the $40 billion that would produce annually, we could: Make a down payment to build a network of 50 public grocery stores.


Triple the federal government's community housing investment to build one million non-market homes for people.


Make a nation-building investment in healthcare, including funding pharmacare from coast to coast to coast.

This is how we lower costs and make life better, Eugene. We just need to stand together and demand the Liberals prioritize major, nation-building efforts like these instead of mega deductions for corporations and CEOs.



Add your name to demand a wealth tax and more investment in people.
