He straight to my face went off on how people who make middle incomes need to pay up so that bums (paraphrasing here!) can get their entitlements because "life is hard in this town" at my door during the last election.
As I'm there looking at him, in my overpriced rental flat, with my debts, and my taxes all paid up with not entitlements accrued ever, and my quite literally back-breaking job....
He can sod off. And stay sodded.
He's just like Denzil Minnan-Wong just with a different ideological mental block.
LOL; he didn't know you were rich.................
He thought he was making the right pitch; which in your area, he typically would be; he keeps getting elected.

In truth, while the largest additional revenues are needed from the ultra-rich, and the merely rich................its not wrong to suggest that middle income taxation writ-large could be higher in Canada.
Though that likely wouldn't be in the form of higher 'rates'.
Rather higher sales tax; property tax in Toronto on SFH, and fewer income deductions Federally.

Of course, its also not wrong to ask the City to prioritize its existing dollars more wisely; ahem Gardiner Hybrid.
