'The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money'
The BC NDP are about to bring in one of the world's highest tax rates
Where will the money come from when the wealth leaves like in California and France? Once they're gone, they won't return
UPDATE: We now have the rate details.
And this is much broader than the โmillionairesโ taxโ initially advertised.
The proposed B.C. provincial rates would increase:
โข 16.8% โ 18.8% on taxable income from $190,405 to $265,545
โข 20.5% โ 22.5% from $265,545 to $1 million
โข A new 24.5% rate above $1 million
That means the combined federal/B.C. top marginal rate would become an astonishing 57.5%.
And notice where the tax increases actually begin: roughly $190,000, not $1 million.
So much for simply asking โmillionairesโ to pitch in a little more.
Iโll have much more to say about this.
