Looked at another way, each ticket to a Kathleen Wynne meet and greet is equal to the entire net worth of 4 of the bottom 30%.

Politicians are part of the problem not part of the solution.

Strong buying power does a lot more for the poor than anything the government does.

One of the reasons we are much better off today than a 100 years ago is due to advances from industry in technology, medicines, food production, and mechanisation that caused prices to drop and therefore made consumers much better off.

This has raised standards of living. 

Every bit of red tape adds overhead to the efficient economy, where people produce and trade things of value that others will want to buy. However, people like Wynne and Trudeau want to create "artificial value" in things like carbon - that no one would pay for - creating a haven for corruption and overheads on the economy and loss of affordability for consumers.
