@mattroberts If you are in the top 1% of earners in Canada (500k) then you would pay 28% in federal tax. So I guess we're getting close to the 30% number going to "one guy".
I don't know how many people who make 500k/year are that fired up about the price of groceries though.
@mattroberts Average 2022 income in Canada was $59,286. You would pay $6,400 in federal tax (10.8%) and (in Ontario) $3,342 in provincial tax (5.6%).
Who is this person that we're giving 30% of our take home pay to?
@mattroberts At both the provincial and federal levels the majority of people who voted voted for a different party than the one in charge. Of course most people didn't vote at all.
Is there a party out there that actually won't waste the money, according to your definition of waste?
@jimmurphy I don't think that any of us are really equipped to actually take in all of the facts, weight them appropriately, and best decide on a course of action. Groups or teams provide a stand-in for the things we don't want to/can't decide.
Life is exhausting.
@jimmurphy we're all just mostly here to dunk on people with bad takes, and there are people willfully generating bad takes because they know it will fire up their own audience when they get the negative pushback. nothing progresses that way
@jimmurphy All discussion on social media just gets pushed to further and further extremes. I logged out for a while. I was happier. But I don't know how anything gets fixed.
@swatiswoboda On the other hand I got a recruiter email with this subject today: "SOUPER Exciting Sales Opportunity @ Campbell's". So you know, it's not all bad
