Canada Needs a Wealth Tax on the Super-Rich
Over the last few decades, the rich have gotten richer at the expense of the rest of us.
Conservatives want to slash public services to pay for COVID-19 support and social programs. They’re wrong – we need to make billionaires and multi-millionaires pay.
Canada’s five richest billionaires have grown their wealth by $5.5 billion during the pandemic.[1] While the rest of us struggle to get by, they are profiting of society’s misfortune.
A small wealth tax on billionaires like this could fund investments into healthcare, green energy, education, and infrastructure spending.
New polling shows 75% of Canadians support a wealth tax, including most Conservatives.[2] It’s time to make the rich pay their fair share.
Sign the petition and call on the government to establish a wealth tax on the super rich!
