Quote from: Biggie Smiles on May 16, 2024, 03:27:25 PMThe wealth has to be spread around based on some type of merits though

if someone is telling me I have to make sacrifices to support someone simply because they are breathing they are going to get a big fuck you on that proposal.

Tell me we're all chipping in for the betterment of us all and I'm 100% behind such a philosophy

Quote from: Brent on May 16, 2024, 02:21:17 PMI used to be adamant supporter of redeistribution. But, when I supported it, the wealth was supposed to be spread around. Now, it goes right back into the hands of the rich prog control freaks who hate the working class.

QuoteCanadians are currently experiencing one of the worst and longest declines in their standard of living in decades, according to a new report by the Fraser Institute.

"Despite claims to the contrary, living standards are declining in Canada," study co-author Grady Munro says in the report by the fiscally conservative think tank, "Changes in Per-Person GDP (Income): 1985 to 2023."

The study says that from April 2019 to the end of 2023, inflation-adjusted, per-person GDP in Canada, a broad measure of living standards, fell from $59,905 annually to $58,111 — a 3% loss and the third-steepest decline in almost 40 years.

Only a 5.3% drop in real GDP Canadians experienced from 1989 to 1992 and a 5.2% drop from 2008 to 2009 were more severe.

The study also says the latest decline in living standards which lasted for 18 fiscal quarters from 2019 to 2023 is already the second-longest in almost 40 years, surpassed only by one that lasted 21 fiscal quarters from1989 to 1994, "and if not stabilized in 2024, this decline could be the steepest and longest in four decades."

A chart in the Liberals' 2022 budget projected that Canada was in danger of experiencing the lowest annual growth in real GDP per capita between 2020 and 2060 among 16 comparable countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, as well as lower growth than the OECD average and lower than every other member of the G7 — U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Italy and Japan.

"Most Canadian businesses have not invested at the same rate as their U.S. counterparts. Unless this changes, the OECD projects that Canada will have the lowest per-capita GDP growth among its member countries."

The problem, critics say, is that in the Liberals' 2024 budget released last month, its major themes — higher spending, higher deficits, higher debt and higher capital gains taxes — are all sure-fire ways to reduce business confidence in the economy, discouraging private sector investment aimed at increasing productivity and innovation.
