It Is Obvious Linda Doesn't Understand Tax System

As seen by Charles Adler........

Also I think maybe Linda has forgotten the results of massive "aid" programs to Germany and Japan with the result that they are now both kicking our asses economically. Personally I didn't know I was at war with the "rich." They have what they earned and I have what I earned.

We allowed rich to win class war

Probably the most overlooked story of the past two decades is the fact that there was a class war and the rich won.

By getting governments to cut taxes and slash social benefits, our financial elite has greatly enriched itself and worsened the fate of the poor. Inequality has reached a level not seen in this country for about a century, as Osgoode Hall tax professor Neil Brooks has noted.

The swollen ranks of homeless people – a throwback to the early days of capitalism before protest movements won social benefits – are a sharp reminder that this class war has many victims, including the weakest and most vulnerable.

It's hard to square the ugly reality of people living on our streets with any sort of good feeling about where our society is headed. Hence, the need to remove this ugliness from view.

This appears to be the underlying motivation behind Toronto's "Streets to Homes" program, which is modelled on the Bush administration's program to end homelessness in U.S. cities.
