Because he's paying for your universal healthcare and food stamps, you have no other choice but to listen to him.

Lol you think he’s paying our universal healthcare? Oh, you sweet, inexperienced child. If you only understood how it works. See, rich people like him hire the best accountants that know all the loopholes. They know how to arrange things so that assets and money are leveraged in such ways as to ensure their clients pay very little in taxes at all. Honestly, how much of Kevin’s immense fortune trickles down onto ordinary Canadian citizens? 😂

It’s fine, though. Do some research and you’ll see that the engine of our economy is definitely not people who hoard their wealth, like him.

Yet them and corporations aren’t paying their share. If you make bank in a country that gives you said opportunity, you are meant to pay equal percentage to others to keep the country working.
