Summary:
"
Canada
is a rich
country
getting richer. But over the past 20 years, a huge portion of the country’s
wealth
increase has gone to a small handful of the
super-rich
. Canada’s one per cent have seen their
share
of Canada’s
wealth
grow by almost six times since 1999 to $2,203,000,000,000 USD today. Meanwhile, half of all Canadian families experience income insecurity and can’t get the support they need from ever-shrinking public services. Canada’s
super-rich
gained $76 billion during the 12 months after COVID-19 hit. Canadians are ready for measures that would distribute
wealth
more fairly, and give governments the funds to pay for pharmacare, improve long-term care, take serious climate action, implement paid sick leave and more. But the Liberal government took no serious measures in its 2021 budget to tackle this issue. Policy experts Jonathan Gauvin and Angella MacEwen show exactly
how
Canada’s
wealth
can
be more fairly shared with measures that would impact only the one per cent: a
wealth
tax
, higher taxes on the highest incomes, higher taxes on large corporations and higher taxes on big profits coming from capital gains. They also propose measures to shut down
tax
loopholes and
tax
havens and to
tax
web giants. This book shows
how
we
can
share
the
wealth
so
everyone
will be
better
off -- even the richest."--Container.
