If its the young ones that end up surviving, they should be the ones paying, because they are the only ones left to pay. Logic.

The biggest problem is I genuinely don’t think that the majority of Canadians even care about what the deficit or debt level is. Until you have a debt crisis or rampant inflation, I doubt anyone even bats an eyelid. Sunny ways ...
I don't think the majority of Canadians care about what their personal debt level is, let alone the debt they have zero control over.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

https://www.greaterfool.ca/2020/07/08/neck-deep/Well, get used to it. For example, the coming budget is likely to increase the capital gains inclusion rate (to 75%, if the NDP gets its way), which means you’d be wise to lock in some gains before that happens. We might well see a new tax bracket created to further ensnare and drive off the 1%ers. Self-employed who pay themselves exclusively through dividend income, rather than salary, might come to regret that choice. Or there could be a lifetime cap placed on TFSA contributions or (more draconian) on accumulated tax-free balances. The feds could simply decide – since we don’t have enough rich people – to shift more tax from income to consumption, and bring the sales tax back up to pre-Harper levels.

Don't get too worked up over one random internet dude's speculation. Blogs like this throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks, then proclaim themselves oracles if anything is even close.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Government: "We have pledge $8billion for XXXXXXXXXX"
Canadians: "Neat!"
When you read stats like the average Canadian spending 180% of the money they earn, its no wonder we are in the situation we are today. We are in a "look what I have" society and most people are unable to support it with their income.

He still is going to be wrong about most of those predictions like many of the other ones in his previous blog entries. It gets clicks and gets people worked up, but I don't believe his crystal ball is any more clear than mine.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The 75% cap gain inclusion has been rumored for at least a couple of years in a row now. But there is a play there that could be done.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
- Announce an increase to the cap gain inclusions to 75% starting Jan 1, 2021
- Everyone sells their winners (2020), and has to pay taxes on it because they don't want to pay capital gains tax at 75%
- Government gets their money by April 30, 2021
- Budget 2021 is released in May 2021 saying the cap gain inclusion rate is going to drop back down to 50% starting Jan 1, 2022
Profit!
If you spent 180% of what you earned, and then kick the bucket... Isn't that a win?

Ethics scandals and deficits are not news worthy it seems. That said, why is Scheer even around still?

Millennials are definitely in the front running for most screwed generation ever. But the future may still hold a California earthquake for Gen Z. I got sympathy, but don't be surprised if there is a 200% debt to GDP to contend with, every generation for themselves!
