Trudeau has to go?

[ExtraSlow]

Basic personal exemption on income tax set at fifty grand. Make low income earners more incentivized to earn incremental dollars by taking them less.

And remove about 79 pages of the tax code. If the tax system was simpler, poor people wouldn't need to pay hnrblock to file the taxes.

Haha that's what I was thinking. Businesses exist to make money, it's really very simple. Yet somehow, so many people don't understand that.

Listen here now. If every business made significantly less money, and the Government taxed more things, we'd all be wealthy. It's economics you dummy.

[jutes]

The government takes on debt so canadians don't have to. It's simple trudeaunomics.

If someone uses the term "corporate greed" in a manner that is not ironic, I immediately relegate them to idiot status. And probably poor.

Of course they are being greedy. That's their fucking job. Your job is to wash the urinals at the local middle school and then decide whether you are buying the apples with the money you were just paid or you are not buying the apples with the money you were just paid.

And hopefully stfu, while you're at it

Agreed. "Predatory tactics" is the one that does it for me, when tards start gum flapping about businesses.

Is this the issue that could finally take down JT?

JT takes down JT. Giving Atlantic provinces a break on carbon tax to buy votes but the rest of Canada get none is the dumbest move ever.

You have to wonder, may be Canada is ran by Sophie behind the scene. It's obvious blunder after blunder after Sophie ditched his ass.

No. Albertans and Beyonders are big proponents of Federal-run tax programs.

Kert's exaggerated method of logical thought process seems very indicative of autism. Probably had the MMR vaccine.

People complaining about corporate greed are likely bitching about CEO-to-worker compensation ratios. Back in the 60's, it was 15:1, then late 80's was 44:1, and now it's 399:1. All of this is widening the wealth gap where I'd wager half of North Americans are living paycheque to paycheque. It's less about others have more, it's about low income earners not having enough to live despite their hours worked. At this point, if your parents aren't providing you with some generational wealth, it makes it exponentially more difficult to improve your quality of life as a future generation.

Maybe naïve but the basic concept of corporations needing to make money to continue being a corporation isn't lost on that many people. You've definitely got people on either end of the wealth spectrum that have no idea how money works.

CEO pay is irrelevant.

If you're not happy with how much your boss or CEO makes compared to you, maybe you should become the boss or CEO. Otherwise STFU peasant.

When you say "how money works", what do you mean? If it's a basic understanding of macroeconomics, corporate structure and associated compensation, etc., the proportion of people that are knowledgeable about this has got to be WAY higher at the top end of the wealth spectrum. Like the ratio wouldn't even be close to the same at either end of the spectrum.

The answer is long term incentives + stock options. Tying performance to rewards gets results. That never happened in the 60's. The downside is that CEOs aren't looking at the best interests of the company anymore and focus on short term share value. Stock buybacks, boost stock price, get rich, leaving company vulnerable. That said, you can't even hire Directors, let alone CEOs these days without stock options, you'll never find a competent CEO without long term and stock rewards.

Maybe translate it into terms the unwashed masses understand. That is - in the language of modern day bread and circuses.

"Why does McDavid get paid what he does...plenty of people can play hockey."

Insert NFL, NBA, MLB or whatever other brain-stealing activity the Regular Folk use to keep themselves occupied.

Just think how much better the NFL would be if we capped compensation at 3x minimum wage.
