The billionaire loophole: How Canada’s tax system fuels inequality

Some worthwhile information in that article.
How is it that there isn’t a single comment on this? Billions per year are at issue and we kinda need every cent we can get right now.
Closing loopholes for wealthiest among us seems like a popular and politically easy to do idea. Why not get it done?
Are our politicos really that bought and paid for? Perhaps they are. I tend to think not, but stuff like this strongly suggests otherwise.
> Wealthy executives often receive the bulk of their pay in stock options, which are taxed at half the rate of income.
This isn’t true. Options or stock grants are taxed as normal income. Options are not capital gains.
They’re also being disingenuous by claiming Canada has no inheritance tax, when actually the estate is fully taxed on all unrealized gains on death before disbursement to the estate.
