Thanks, I appreciate this. I didn’t really have data to support my conclusions, but echoing rhetoric I’ve heard before. Glad to know I was wrong. It’s not surprising that it’s polarizing when the end result is taking money from people.

That said, I’m really curious of the causation of higher tax rates on economic growth. Like, if you want to still be just as rich, you have to work even harder.

Personally I think slightly higher taxes would be acceptable, but I don’t at all trust the economic efficiency of the federal government right now. We need food, transit, houses, healthcare and education... but I don’t think these would be spending priorities.
