    I’m sorry, 5k a year? When the legislation is actually taxing people that make 200k+ a year at an additional $192/year.

    At $250,000 the increase would be about $1,192, and at $1.5 million about $36,192.

    Your claim of 5k additional taxes, then you’re claiming you make about 440k/annual. So current take home is 20,700/month. After new legislation take home would be 20,300/month.

    That type of salary puts you in the top 0.5% of income tax filers in Canada. You, allegedly, make more than 99.5% of tax filing Canadians and you don’t want to pay an extra $400/month in tax?

    I’m doubting the veracity of what you’re saying.

        My friend, it’s not like it bring true even helps your argument. You’re not the victim. You’re the rich person who doesn’t want to marginally pay their fair share.

        If you’re worried about that 400/month then you should skip your daily Starbucks matcha latte and avocado toast. Budgeting really helps.

        New anonymous accounts spouting conservative rhetoric while saying they voted NDP in the past (all during elections) does not exactly instill trust in what you say.

          I don’t expect you to agree with me. I’m merely explaining that this campaign promise of the NDPs has affected my vote. And it’s so funny… my conservative friends call me a liberal shill. The (what appears to so far be somewhat of an intolerant) cesspool here claims I spout conservative rhetoric. In reality, I’m a left leaning centrist who thinks he pays enough in taxes. I know, go figure.

            Hopefully you won’t make the relatively small extra taxation the thing that keeps you from voting NDP. There are so many other issues we could try to find common ground on. But if it does, well, that’s your absolute right in a democracy.
