Canada Ranked 8th on the List of the World’s Wealthy

Not completely.

If it is every man for himself with government providing only national defense, then if you are born poor, you stay poor.

Wealthy is not always a bad thing, but how it happens, often is. With the harper government Canada is turning more and more capitalist. We really need him out.

Then again, does it really matter which government runs things, when corporations own and control it anyway? I don't know how much of that goes on here but I'm sure it does.

Been following the whole RBC scandal with the use of foreign workers so they can maximize their profits by replacing their existing employees and the fact that it's not only them, but lot of corporations. Will the government do something about it? I doubt it.

I've always felt that wealth isn't a bad thing, some people are better at management than others, and care more, that's just life.

My idea is a huge death tax. 0% for the first $5,000,000 then 100% per person, including trusts, ownership stake in companies, trusts, etc.

You can still leave your kids a fabulous life, but they don't get to have dynasty wealth.
