Yes, but improve tax codes to include speculative and other financial assets that earn above a certain threshold.
@9FT9QJN2yrs2Y
my stance on this oppion is as much as you want to tax the rich they will continue to find a way around them
@9HCSTN21yr1Y
Yes, and remove all existing loopholes under income tax and other taxes for the wealthy and large corporations
@9DWFG682yrs2Y
Taxation without representation is theft. Remove all existing tax loopholes for corporations, abolish the income tax, change our current system to a direct democracy
@8XHX8NQ3yrs3Y
Rich people do not tend to pay as much taxes as they have a way to store it in areas outside of a country who charges taxes so this law would be irrelevant.
@8VQ82B44yrs4Y
Slightly, and lower taxes for the poor

Yes and raise tax breaks for corporations even Canadian corporations

Depends if you worked hard than no if you gained fame overnight and make so much money then yes.
@8RP9TDP4yrs4Y
Go back to the more nuanced system with more categories used ore Mulroney who screwed the whole system up. Increase taxes for large corporations but give them some incentives so they don't leave the country.
@8QKQFRP4yrs4Y
Yes, and close tax loopholes abused by corporations and take measures to prevent, and if possible tax, offshore bank accounts.
@9CPXJ7V2yrs2Y
Replace other forms of taxation with a land value tax
@8TVYS424yrs4Y
No, but raise the basic exemption for all Canadians
@8NSV2FM4yrs4Y
No, and but implement a flat tax and negative income tax instead.

Yes, but by introducing more tax brackets
