Canada

Shut the fuck up with the false equivalences. Let's start taxing the ultra wealthy, then we can figure out how to tackle global wealth inequality.

You're not going to make any headway antagonizing half the population in the Western world. These are people who in many cases have a hard time living a decent life even if they're in the global 1%. They don't live in Haiti, they don't pay $10 for their x rays.

I think you're missing the forest for the trees there, mate. You're correct that there are other people out there that are worse off, but if we take from one group that is struggling and help another group that's struggling you're just shifting who is worse off. If you were to take money from the people who have more than they can ever use (ie billionaires, and the corporations that got them so rich) and help everyone else out, everyone is still benefiting.

Plus, it looks at the core reasons why so many are struggling. Having housing as an investment, food price fixing, telecoms taking tax dollars to upgrade infrastructure and pocketing it, governments privatizing crown corporations to the detriment of the public and to get their rich friends richer, etc. These are what are causing the issues for most middle and lower class Canadians, and it all stems back to corporate greed (and the billionaires that own them).
