I am Canadian so feel free to skip this post right off the bat, since apparently being Canadian means I am automatically retarded around here.
I don't agree with raising taxes on the rich. I don't understand the disrespect towards the successful people that is happening in your country right now. For some reason you guys have turned the successful into blood thirsty animals raping the country when in fact most of them are the reason you or your family even have an job / income. I guess this technique makes it easier for you to place the responsibility on them to save the country. They build a business from scratch, from working their asses off, employ many people which stimulates more consumer spending in their local areas and possibly other places such as Minte's business. They pay more taxes in one year than most of us will pay in 100. You guys should be promoting small business & entrepreneurship right now more than anytime in your history. I have to agree with Minte & 12clicks (Some self ego comments about their wealth was shallow & could have been done without), I don't think raising taxes would help, the politicians would just find other ways to waste this newly taxed cash on payouts for their buddies instead of paying down your debt. Spending needs to be cut on wars & used to promote healthy business in your country. Start teaching the youth small business / entrepreneurship classes in high schools, money management, etc...
