I disagree. Certainly lots of scope for critiques of the government. And lots of possible tax changes to boost productivity that weren't adopted. But adjusting the inclusion rate to better align treatment of dividends and capital gains is not a problem. financialpost.com/news/economy/c…
@trevortombe You clearly don't understand risk. If you believe a $100k job @ Uni of Calgary is same risk, (which you didn't have to invest your own money to get), as making an investment then getting $100k in cap gains then I have some compelling investments for u because you see no risk.
@JeffCallaway Thanks for the really thoughtful reply, Jeff!
@JeffCallaway @trevortombe I don’t recall capital gains of $100,000 being altered in this budget.
@JeffCallaway @trevortombe Those risk takers also get to carry forward any losses indefinitely & back 3 yrs to shelter their gains. People who work as employees pay tax based on their income in a yr. If they lose their job and have no income they can't carry back their income loss & get tax back.
@JeffCallaway @trevortombe Ah yes, needing a PhD for a job famously does not require one's own money as an investment to acquire... Everyone knows PhDs and professor qualifications are free for the taking out there.
@JeffCallaway @trevortombe The blind spot of Academics that have guaranteed cheques is that @trevortombe fails to recognize that Freeland basically is telling me to invest outside Canada…and be taxed less ya..there’s a Capital Gains Treaty with the 🇺🇸& 🇨🇦 …but I will net more by investing elsewhere
@JeffCallaway @trevortombe Rich guy complains about making slightly less profit. Boohoo.
@JeffCallaway @trevortombe It is anyone making 250k + in capital gains. That you? 013% of people.
