“On the biggest issues, including affordable housing, cancelling decriminalization of deadly drugs, fixing our broken health-care system, making our streets safe, and putting our natural resources to work growing jobs and our economy, the Conservatives make sense as that new coalition,” said Sturko.
I still say there can only be a single page flat tax system, or no income tax with no payroll tax.
“I want it simple” is not a good reason to choose a system that’s worse for everyone.
How does a flat single page tax apply to capital gains? Do you no longer get an exception for selling your primary residence? That’s a great way to hurt the ability for people to move even more than we’ve already done.
You no longer get benefits from RRSPs, TFSAs, or educational savings accounts for kids. We’re going to end up supporting a lot of broke old people in that case.
It’s nice that you want it to be simple, but sometimes less options isn’t better. It would be like saying you can only build your homes out of concrete to make it so that all houses are stronger against tornados and more mold resistant. Ignoring the fact that while they work well in some areas, cold climates and/or potential for earthquakes makes them a really bad choice in other regions.
I will only support a flat tax and reject all othes.
Well, good thing you don’t get to decide then.
