Perhaps the government should wonder whether the largest tech company in the country actually wants innovation, growth, and entrepreneurship? Or whether they’d just like to stay on top of the pile and line their own pockets?

Why Canada’s proposed corporate tax relief is not the answer
Tax cuts are not what motivates investors or entrepreneurs, they’re not what creates jobs, and they undermine the things that do.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.
And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.
People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

We're not any more altruistic than the next person. We want less inequality because we know our families will be better off in a society with less inequality.
We're greedy for a different kind of country—one where all people have the ability to thrive, succeed, and have their voices heard.

Our tax code values money over sweat.
It values already being rich over earning a paycheck.
It values unproductive and even extractive investment more than actually working for a living.
Until that changes, the tax code will guarantee wealth inequality in this country grows.

The wealthiest Canadians pay lower tax rates than what the average worker pays.
Why? Because our tax system taxes employment income at a higher rate than passive investment income.
