The wealth tax is the latest way democrats are proposing to bilk Americans of their money and fund the massive fraud that is our government's budget. A wealth tax will severely harm our economy. A wealth tax is: Let's take Calofornia's "one-time" wealth tax on billionaires as an example of how this would destroy economies. They want voters to vote on a 5% wealth tax (CNBC). The 5% would be the sum of all assets a billionaire owns. That would mean real estate, investments, cash, businesses etc would all have to be assessed for value and then totaled to determine the taxable amount. Once that taxable amount is determined, the billionaire has to pay the 5% with cash. At a minimum, that would be $50 million. Most rich people don't have all their assets in cash. They have property, investments, businesses, etc. The cash they do have is considered operating capital. Cash they use for day to day life. Fifty million is not just play money. They don't have this sitting in a bank account just waiting to be spent. How would they get the cash then? The cash would likely come from assets that are easy to sell. The easiest assets to sell are stocks, bonds and other investments. This will be where the economy gets harmed the most. If every billionaire had to sell their assets at the same time, they would flood the market. Econ 101 tells us that when a market is flooded with supply, the price goes down. The biggest issue with lower stock prices is the loss of leverage. Lower stock prices make it harder for businesses to raise capital. If they can't raise capital, or they have to pay more to get the capital, growth becomes harder. If a business can't grow the economy can't grow. Do not expect this "one-time" tax to be a one-time or just for billionaires. Eventually, it will be millionaires too. Imagine you have a $500,000 home, a car worth $30,000, a 401k worth $400,000 and $70,000 in cash. Congrats, you are a millionaire. Now you have to raise $50,000 in cash to pay your taxes. The first year is doable. But what about next year? The year after that? There are examples of how a wealth tax has harmed local governments. Maryland tried it in 2007. Instead of raising tax revenues, revenues fell drastically. This is what is in California's future. This is also what is in the future for America if we install such a suppressive tax. If America employs a wealth tax, you will see a rise in LLCs that are listed as investment companies. These investment companies would all magically hold just under the wealth tax number and/or they will be off shore investment accounts, leaving America void of capital. The stock market would falter. Business growth would be stymied. Slowed business growth would slow job growth. Another issue would be the offshore of businesses. A wealth tax would force businesses to flee the US or be forced to pass on taxes. To find a cost advantage, they would move to more tax friendly regions. Overall, the effects on the economy would be devastating. poverty would rise, jobless claims would rise, the stock market would fall and businesses would flee.

Its not fraud. There was nothing illegal about it! You don't present evidence. You present opinions that use factoids to dupe the gullible. Zero evidence is given. What you post is like me saying ABC bank got robbed today. Robosmith was at that bank and has some cash with him. The brain wants to fill in the blanks and make a story that can be filed away. So the reader decides they know what happened. Your Russia Collusion stories are the exact same. They say things like Trump had a bank account there and Flynn sold them internal polling data and some Russian fraudster tried to get Trump to give them money and the Russians bought ads on Facebook. All factoids. None related. The kicker is, the story was made up, using those factoids, by Obama. We have proof of that. Not evidence. Proof. But that proof will be dismissed by you. The truth does not fit the fantasy world that you live in, so you choose not to believe it. Instead, you believe the lies you are told, because that is what you want to believe.

So not only can you not address her comments but you couldn't address my comments either so you're asking me about her comments and to address her comments because you couldn't I'm sure there's a way to look more pathetic, but it would probably involve a research grant to figure it out I've said no such thing. So now you're just making stuff up that i've said ? Wow. You pulled it of without the research grant! Impressive! OF course, the cbc doesn't report on that kind of thing and lib supporters like you don't care either way

It is a horrible idea and violates the principle that money should only be taxed once. In addition people will avoid it by various means, but that will have negative effects as well.

To be honest, the first line of defence against the burgeoning budget should just be fraud prevention, which has shown incredible gains, but every time $10B in wasteful spending/fraud is cut from the budget the Democrats scream like their baby is being ripped apart by hyenas. "OMG, YOU CAN'T STOP THE SOMALI SCAMMERS! THAT'S RACIST!!!!!" "NVM THE MEDICARE SCAMMERS IN LA! TELL THAT KID TO KEEP HIS F'N TRAP SHUT!" And the goal of targeting the rich isn't to elevate the poor - because the Dems love their slave-class - it's just to gain gov't control of industry, like every communist regime does... When people in NYC are asked "What are you gonna do when the wealthy people leave, but they take their business with them?", they literally say "We will just keep their stuff here, HAHAAAA!" I'm not sure if they're aware 'what form of gov't that represents', but if you told them that was what fascists and communists do, most of them would wink and nod. Or they'd say "IT'S COMMUNIST, NOT FASCIST!", as if that's somehow better.

That won't matter that much 3 years from now. While people may have a somewhat positive or negative impression events over the next 3 years, they will mostly associate him with trump. If trump's star is still shining at that point Vance will have a severe advantage. If not, Rubio's got a real shot by claiming that he is still a fan of trump's better policies but will bring them forward in a more stable in adult way or some sort of argument along those lines. Even if you think trump is great you can't argue that he's made for something of an unstable government and people may crave stability. That was Biden's big selling point We will see. A lot can happen in 3 years but I think it's going to boil down to whether or not people felt trump was a success in the end or whether they felt that he was just too much I don't know who they're going to put forward but I can tell what their campaign is going to be already based on the democrats during and after the last election HEHEHEHEEHEHEHE Trump bad! Bad man! Nazi! All supporters are nazi!!! Many are white males white males BAAAAD!!! Vote Happy!!! And good luck with that. I see no sign the dems are moving towards putting someone serious forward and nobody's interested in the 'basket of deplorables' vote

The Dems' "We hate everything!" campaign isn't working. Key Findings on Approval Ratings Record Lows: A late 2025 Quinnipiac University poll found that only 18% of voters approved of the way Democrats in Congress were handling their jobs, while 73% disapproved, marking a record low. Internal Dissatisfaction: A significant portion of Democratic voters are dissatisfied with their own party's leadership, with 48% of Democrats disapproving of their own party's performance in Congress. A 73% disapproval rating should tell them something. Maybe "We hate America" doesn't work in America. I wonder what their approval rating would be in Gaza... Probably higher than 17% lol.

Look at these traitorous filth. Now they're attacking the First Lady. Just disgusting. They think this is a winning strategy.

Melania is a gold digger - but i don't condemn her for that, well played. Her CV is filled with lies, innuendo, exaggeration. She did what she had to do to survive - including Playboy (OMG - that is funny) Arguably Jeremy was the swinging dick that introduced her to Trump. Lyin' Eyes City girls just seem to find out early How to open doors with just a smile A rich old man, and she won't have to worry She'll dress up all in lace, go in style Late at night, a big old house gets lonely I guess every form of refuge has its price And it breaks her heart to think her love is only Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

The left: Melania was helping Epstein! Melania: "No I wasn't." The left: "See! Her denial proves everything!" These people are just distracting us from all the great things that have happened under 47. So let's have a look: Iran will never have a nuke. Venezuela is now our oil partner. China lost two oil partners. Russia lost two oil partners. Tax cuts are permanent. No tax on tips. Border closed. 3 million + deportations. Border wall being built. Renegotiate trade deals. Inflation under control Jobs shifted from government to private sector. Serious investigations into fraud. Mexico finally going after cartels. Trillions in new investments in the US. Terminated Biden-era electric vehicle mandates and policies. Implemented policies to combat fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration enforcement. Facilitated the release of American hostages held abroad. Expanded American energy production and repealed restrictive environmental regulations. Established the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and promoted U.S. leadership in digital assets. Signed executive orders protecting children from chemical and surgical mutilation and ending unfair sports practices. Reformed federal bureaucracy to increase efficiency and reduce waste. 125 year lows in crimes, including murders. Advanced education reform and parental rights in schooling. Expanded clemency with pardons and commutations addressing perceived injustices. College sports reforms. Serious investigations into voter fraud. There are probably more. But what does the left have as accomplishments? Shot at border agents in Texas. Shot at other border agents in Texas, killing two illegal immigrants. Came up with TACO. Rioted in LA. Rioted in Minneapolis. Killed Charlie Kirk. Pushed debunked Epstein conspiracy theories. Record low approval ratings including net disapproval in own party. Shut down the government, twice, harming the people that are supposed to be protecting us from danger. Look, keep doing what you are doing. I love it. The left has become completely irrelevant in today's political climate. Don't stop now.

What cover-up?

Vance has been sent to negotiate with Iran. If he succeeds, he will return a hero.

Its a typical Canastan waffle.

You listed off a string of facts... Where is your opinion?

Where is the opinion?

Chronic problem. This is why you see threads about how the left these days are cultists You, as a right-wing person, can believe a thing and I can disagree with that thing and we can have a nice strong fun passionate discussion about it and have on a number of occasions and at the end of the day shake hands and move on. Both of us have even conceded points, noting that a thing the other believed was correct even though perhaps they didn't agree with the overall argument the other was making and emotionally we're not shattered. The left on the other hand simply denies facts and yells and puts their fingers in their ears and buries their head and hums and then comes back and repeats the same lies but now they've rewritten the conversation in their head to try and convince themselves they somehow won Like Chrissy is doing with you right now on the other thread and she was doing with me for quite a while as well And here we see it again. There was a time when I was growing up and I would sit down with some very intelligent people on the left and have absolutely great and incredible conversations that were frequently passionate and even heated but at the end of which we could conceive each other's points agree to disagree on the opinion parts shake hands and eat dinner together Nowadays the left one overturn the table the moment they heard you disagreed, scream like banshees, and demand that someone come and punch you because you are a Nazi for disagreeing.

How simple minded are you? It's your thread and your comments that we're losing a 'trade war' with the US and Mexico, which I replied to. What does China, HSR, Champaigns wife, and now inter-provincial trade have to do with our US trade. You never pointed out anything other than the usual schtick of anti-liberal. You got nothing... as usual.

The man is a genius. With two tweets he managed to: get the weakest, dumbest person elected PM in Canada get woket4rds to stick up for the Catholic Church With his next tweet he's gonna get them interested in finding jobs and going off of welfare.

The decision isn't to wait for perfect certainty, but to decide when a risk has become too dangerous to bear

If my argument was so bad, why couldn't you come up with anything of substance to refute it?

Well, like before, I'm an optimist.

Huh.... nothing to do with Trump. Who the hell started this unnecessary war?

Let’s see you actually come up with a real substantive argument for once. Can you?

Goddess reported a, bombshell filing in the Ontario Small Claims Court on April 8, 2026 so where's the explosion? You're also saying allegations that Justin Trudeau surfed kiddie porn while in office are a nothingburger? Why are you defending him?

Nope.

In Canada the left and their supporters burned down hundreds of churches while justin trudeau smiled on and the cbc barely reported on it But... trump said something mean, the entire left is ready to stick up for catholics

The Streisand Effect VIDEO

On an online forum, pushing to ignore people is one of the shittiest things you can do. Bunch of chicken shit clowns who are incapable of engaging in good faith honest discussion.

What the Hell is wrong with you? You know Gawd-Damn well that crime committed by illegals goes ON TOP of that committed by citizens and thus the fault of Democrats. So Mike...you just ignore those who insist on bringing the truth to the fore, and go hide with your warped morality.

Mike, are any of you leftoids able to say "illegal alien"? Just curious...

If they bring in 50K immigrants and one commits a crime, the principles at play indicate that those 50K people are all tarred with the same brush. I'm not sure if it's logic, math, poor values, ignorance or willful trolling. But I don't care either. It's just incorrect and there's very little I can discuss with the people who espouse these methods. Really you should ignore those you can't converse with.

Rubio is a no doubter. Still loooove JD. But Rubio might out do Trump as POTUS.

You clown. If you are going to berate people over crap like this, you should be more careful with your own typing. You continue to be the most absolutely worthless poster on this forum.

Democrats call this House election loss a victory because they didn't lose as bad as before ! (Georgia)

A lot of it will depend on how trump leaves his office, whether he still liked or despised. There's no doubt that Vance is going to wear trump's record the people are done with Trump Mania he's going to have an uphill battle and Rubio will be able to present himself as the so-called adults in the room that will lead to a more stable presidency. If trump is still life and respected then Vance will have a bit of an advantage Of course it also depends on who the opponent is. That makes a bigger difference in people think and who the other side is going to choose as they're running candidate

Oh dear, is poor little Chrissy having a hissy fit again? Every time you post something like that you're admitting that I'm right and you're wrong. You're also admitting that you can't handle that fact as an adult. And honestly we all knew that so there's really no need for you to make the effort if you don't feel like it The scientific consensus is that it is wrong morally and ethically to treat children with gender affirming drugs or surgery that have a permanent effect. Sorry for your bad luck

Seriously... why those emojis? We've only lost what trade with the US Trump wanted us to lose. Growing trade with China and every other country is what we need to do, regardless of the US agreement when that happens. You're picking things out of your àss. Major projects like HSR is infrastructure, not foreign trade no matter how you want to spin it. I said you were utterly useless, not the HSR project which I agree with. Your hand gets further up your àss... We can have two separate conversations because they're two separate topics. Inter-provincial trade has nothing to do with foreign trade. The rest of your rambling is as useless as the above... 🤡

How does this have Trump by the short hairs? I realize your brain is like scrambled eggs up there... but maybe you can make some sense and actually articulate something.

LOL that's my line you root vegetable!

The law was that it was illegal to assist in someone’s suicide. So, yes there was a law. The Supreme Court struck down parts of the Criminal Code. Section 241 (b) and s. 14 of the Criminal Code unjustifiably infringe s. 7 of the Charter and are of no force or effect to the extent that they prohibit physician-assisted death for a competent adult person who (1) clearly consents to the termination of life and (2) has a grievous and irremediable medical condition (including an illness, disease or disability) that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual in the circumstances of his or her condition. https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/14637/index.do

Not only do you not care about trans suicide, you don’t even care about your made up racial issues.

As usual, the once we get past the baseless assertions you run like a coward. Listen, these are your arguments. If they can’t stand up to the simplest amount of scrutiny, maybe you need to rethink them or be honest enough to admit you are just full of shit pushing leftist talking points.

The left has no moral compass. That makes this type of fake report so believable to them.

Why don't you just contribute to discussions instead of chasing me and Fox around the board?

My sentiments exactly, thanks for the video. Despite YUK YUKs, HA HAs, and LOLs from Flybaby, this is the floor crossing that I'll be following... my interest here is purely tactical. As I said earlier: "I wouldn't discount the fact that some of these folks may have ulterior motives and see themselves as serving their last parliamentary stint." - Especially in her case. - It's not even close, she won't be getting elected in that riding again and she knows it. I'd love to know what the backroom deals were. - Using an evolutionary analogy, this is the equivalent of a fish evolving into a horse a week after washing up on shore... I simply don't believe it. - We'll find out eventually and when we do Flybaby rhetoric will sound something like this: YUK YUK YUK. HA HA HA. LOL LOL LOL, Old news loser, get over it, you lost. LMAO. YUK YUK YUK. - which is exactly why there will be zero sympathy from conservatives (or even moderates) when a scenario like this plays out in reverse... and it will. I think Liberals are breaking new ground here and when that choke gets reversed they'll tap early. There's a Canadian Trump out there somewhere and all it's going to take to find him is more abysmally bad performance and some additional YUK YUKs delivered with the sort of arrogance on display here now.

Not everyone 'gets it' like you do... Ever stop to think that exports are meant to lessen trade when a country puts significantly high tariffs on another? We had a 6% decline in exports to the US past year and an increase of 17% to non-US countries last year. We'll get normalized with the US whenever that may be, but we need other partners, obviously...

The other floor crossers were from ridings that could have gone either way. This one is different. Sarnia is a manufacturing hub. The Liberals are against industry and manufacturing, so I doubt her constituents were consulted on this.

She called Carny a grifter. She said that any MP who crosses the floor should have an automatic byelection to confirm it because otherwise it was betraying your constituents. In January, after another CPC MP publicly stated how he was approached by the Liberals and refused, she tweeted "Thank you for being true to your constituents". She said that Mark Carny has been lying to Canadians from the start. All of this in the last few months. For her to now cross to the Liberals is such gobsmacking hypocrisy that we can only wonder how much she was offered. Because she obviously doesn't give a damn about her constituents. She's been offered something, guarantees made.
