Patriotic Millionaires Canada
@patmillscanada.bsky.social
Wealthy Canadians who believe in taxing the rich to fight extreme wealth inequality.
Right now, while Canadians who actually work for a living are paying taxes on 100% of their paycheck, rich Canadians who make their money via a few clicks in their brokerage account are only paying taxes on half the profits. That has to change.

It’s true, some wealth taxes have been tried and abandoned. Sometimes due to legitimate challenges, and sometimes due to billionaire funded lobbying and political campaigns to undermine them.

Terence actually makes this point for us not one paragraph later! But pardon us if we’re not holding our breath for the benevolence of billionaires.

Still not sure what a billionaire socialist utopia is supposed to be… but let's move on to Terry's main point.

We're also not sure we'd call Avi a "typical tax evangelist".
In fact, we think he's pretty atypical!

First off: “socialist millionaires”.
Maybe he just wants to call everything he dislikes socialist, but words have meaning.
Making billionaires pay taxes is not actually socialist! It has nothing to do with communal ownership of the means of production.
So, don't worry Terry!

Inequality doesn't just threaten our economy. It threatens the stability of our society and our democracies.

If we want better healthcare, better schools, better infrastructure, to fight climate change, to support housing initiatives, and to protect our sovereignty and democracy, we need to tax the rich.

Some of the ultra-rich want you to believe that raising taxes on the wealthy will reduce innovation and entrepreneurship.
But that's not what motivates entrepreneurs! Just ask Avi Bryant.

Why do Patriotic Millionaires feel so ready to fight back against the members of their class who hoard wealth, avoid taxes, and pull the ladder up behind them?

Avi Bryant knows the value of public investment. His life has been impacted by public housing, public schools, public universities, public pensions investing in his company, R&D credits covering some of his startups payroll, and a social safety net and healthcare that allowed entrepreneurial risk.

After a long career in tech, Avi Bryant is familiar with venture-capital.
Invest broadly, expect that not everything will pay out, but a really successful investment pays for all the others, and much more.

The lived experiences of the uber-rich shouldn't be dictating what important priorities get funded. That's democracy's job, and we should raise the money by taxing the rich!

Wealth inequality doesn't just make our economies top heavy, it also threatens our democracy, putting too much power in the hands of too few.
