Fund. Social. Services. Federally.
Provinces won’t let them
If your solution is to give more handouts that's not actually fixing the problem, you're just making people even more dependent on government to survive.
How about we tax the rich to pay for it?
The problem is one of distribution: too much money on one side, too little on the other. Government has some great tools to fix that, but curiously doesn't use them.
Every dollar given to social services circulates 10 through the economy so... it does, actually, go a long way towards fixing the problem.
And every dollar that doesn't get stolen out of my wallet by the government circulates 100 through the economy.
I wasn't really sure what you're saying so I used a translator, it came back as
"Taxation is theft"
It's not, but I love when people use that when they get called out, atleast it's better than an ad hominem attack.
Does it really? You sure that it just doesn't end up rotting in overseas mutual funds and securities?
That's a crock of shit argument. Yes a few percentage will live off that, but the vast majority of people don't want to be in the position where they need government money to survive.
True!!
Insanely, unbelievably true.
Out of all the people on any sort of “hand out” I think the remarkably insignificant are proud of the fact or want to be.
The fact is that those dollars are INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO THOSE PEOPLE.
And for every family that may HAVE to take them, once again, notice the distinction as you mentioned, not WANT, there is a chance that those pittances will help them survive another month, and possibly get one step closer to being their own actor in pulling out of the shitty, no good, bullshit that is poverty.
For every dollar that rich fucks hoard, a needy family could spend in our economy.
Hoarding does no good and only fuels inflation.
You’ve clearly never had to trade your silver spoon for a cock to get by
