  3.  @justinbarton8808  Voted for by naive and short-sighted citizens.

  4. No. How about abolish income tax altogether as it was originally supposed to be a temporary measure?

  5. <People need to get back to thinking about others before themselves again.> How about NO? This mentality is what has gotten Canada into trouble.

  6.  @Mostly_Harmless99  Doesn't matter. Dignity does not come from living off of money taken from others.

  7. And end up like Venezuela.

  8.  @bresev8958  Thomas Sankara said something to that effect. He who feeds you owns you.

  9.  @hyperceptional  Corporations actually employ people.

  13.  @just-a-generic-username  Poverty does exist. It's just that skids like the guy in the video are the main characters behind it. Most of everything else is just a side-effect.

  14. There is work. It's just that you're going to have to swallow your pride and make the most of what you're given.

  15. Like what Venezuela once did under Chavez?

  16. Just ask Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

  18.  @MinnieOnCam  And rightfully so. They can't hire just anyone.

  19.  @minimaladjacent  No. That's socialism. State-imposed poverty and an actual 1% vs. 99%.

  23.  @TheRealTommyRoyal  <If anything society would benefit from people having free time to engage in their passions or to raise children.> Only to stagnate and crumble in the process when there's no one to main the infrastructure. I don't fear for the Middle East losing its oil revenue as much as I fear for them collapsing if the foreign migrants finally decide to stop seeking work there and the governments are forced to put their own citizens they spoiled to work.

  26. Neither do the people themselves preferring to live in squalor for a handout than earn a living doing something productive.

  27.  @piku5637  Starting with you.

  28.  @ToppyTree  It's not the wealthy's fault the poor didn't have the foresight to start their own business and monetize their own labor.

  29.  @piku5637  Because of pridefulness?

  30.  @minimaladjacent  So do deadbeats and criminals.

  31.  @piku5637  As in you.

  32. Elected by entitled and envious citizens.

  33.  @sharinglungs3226  <In this country we have a problem with creating private sector jobs> You have only bureaucracy and high taxes to thank for that.

  34.  @joel16961  Which government? Doug Ford has no obligation to maintain a pet project started by Kathleen Wynne.

  35. Evidence as in UBI promotes dependency?

  36.  @piku5637  And also people who vote for usually leftist governments to steal from their neighbors on their behalf.

  37.  @asad5067  They can save their money and start their own businesses. But apparently, it's much easier to just take orders and collect a paycheck.

  38. Social programs = Liberal/NDP vote-buying programs.

  39. So do liberals for everyone including the very people they claim to have compassion and empathy for.

  40.  @SmithKurosaki  The 1% = Justin Trudeau and anyone who was dumb enough to vote for him.

  43.  @kaputasri  The rich made the middle class.

  44.  @piku5637  Like post-Tito Yugoslavia that eventually imploded. Interesting how democracy that socialism supposedly requires to function properly end up being its final nail in the coffin.

  45. A consequence of the liberal party who only knows one thing and that is to tax, tax, tax and spend frivolously to deep debt.
