The Liberal government is looking to cut almost $1 billion from the annual budget of the Department of National Defence — a demand the country’s top military commander says is prompting some “difficult” conversations within the military.

Imagine, just imagine, the kind of society we had if we were willing to tax the wealthy at the levels needed to provide the services we need.
But we don’t. Instead of taxing people, we’ve decided it’s better to just let them hoard cash like Scrooge McDuck because*…mumble…Art Laffer…mumble…supply side…cough…trickle-down…mumble…mumble* instead of either forcing them to invest it into something productive and/or taxing it if they don’t.
Yes, the wealthy all keep their fortunes in a Scrooge McDuck vault, slowly losing it all to inflation as a flex on us poors. 🙄
Said the poor
Lmao. I mean, yeah. I dunno about everyone else here, but I’d much rather see that money be spent in a productive “society-first” manner instead of literally just bleeding into nothing.
Nothing money does nothbut sit there anyways, so spend it to improve quality of life or give it all back and let us do it.
Fuck.
