I WAS Simply Addressing the ""FED MESSAGING""__That the CHANGES Were ALL About Tax FAIRNESS__AND That the VERY RICH Should Pay a LITTLE MORE__And that There Will ONLY BE Less than 45,000 Tax Payers AFFECTED BOTTEM LINE is that the ONLY WAY Tax ""FAIRNESS"" Could Have BEEN ACHIEVED Would Have BEEN that EVERYONE Pays the NEW 2/3rd Tax Rate WITHOUT the 250K Exemption HECK__The Capital Gains Rate WAS @ 75% from 1990 to 2000__For
EVERYONE__Was NOT the END of the WORLD !!!
This TARGETTED New Capital Gains POLICY is Just MORE of the Liberal/NDP Coalition VILLIFYING the ""VERY RICH""__Simply for POLITICAL Vote Getting Reasons.
Ok, Red deer....if you think the tax increase (ie inclusion rate increase) should have applied to ALL capital gains and affect a few milllion more more tax filers....so be it...I guess (???)
I don get too hung up on political messaging....I just look at the consequences of the tax changes.
IMO "villifying the very rich" is not a huge vote getter.....I don't even think "villifying" happened because simply pointing out where the money is or going to come from is not "villifying" in my book.
Just my 2 cents.
