The capital being invested has already been taxed at the source. Capital gains shouldn’t even be taxed. I earned it, paid taxes on it; what I do with it beyond that is no one’s business. I’m the one taking the risk yet…
This isn’t about the billionaires. What is an immense amount of money for individuals (100 billions) really isn’t that significant for a Western government like the United States. Seizing Bezos/Gates wealth would have…
I think we’re ignoring scale here. Is there a country with similar population levels that provides all that? I’m Canadian and I am thankful for our benefits but our public services have been stretched for decades and…

I make 300k in Montreal and know tons of people in the same range. I don't know TC for Mindgeek but 60k is not even close to the "typical" Montreal salary
What misfortune? They made a 100b requests and used 16k CPU hours because because they were careless This cost money to Google, they're the offended party here
