Higher min wage for BC gig workers: cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

New in @policyalternatives Monitor: When a worker takes a paycheck home, 100% is that income is taxable. Now, the rich in Canada are complaining because 66% of their highest level income will be taxable—and only above $250,000 in annual profits. By David Macdonald #canlab monitormag.ca/articles/worke…

I've seen a few opinion pieces criticizing the capital gains tax increase for those with >$250K of gains. They note a few problems here; a shortcoming there. Fair enough---no real-world tax measure will be perfect. But there's a "tell" in what these pieces *don't* say....

The rich say boosting the capital gains tax will hurt productivity, but it's just not true. Time to do a little myth-busting. Thanks Jim Stanford thestar.com/business/opini… via Toronto Star
