text: Regardless of the math, this entire sorry saga raises fundamental questions about the competence of team Trudeau. There was no rallying cry from the masses to go after professionals and small businesses. The amounts being cited as incremental tax revenues seem insignificant compared to the vast oceans of waste in the broader public services. The targeted villains are not the wall street types but predominantly doctors and entrepreneurs. Somebody had way too much time on their hands and scratched the bottom of the barrel to come up with this half baked tax scheme. It simply pisses off those who have taken risk and made sacrifices without making any particular voting block deleriously happy that the Government is socking it to public enemies.   A family member who has raised  risk capital for a bio pharma start up from "rich" investors is now anxious that further investments will dry up and can not proceed to FDA trials. Such unintended consequences can not be hypothetically quantified.
