Secondly, that two individuals whose lives are built on inherited wealth and entitlement so great that any tax rate is meaningless to them; and who have no experience or appreciation of aspiring to just get onto the bottom rung of accumulating capital are pitching this is galling to those who have had neither advantage. No wonder Mr Trudeau and Mr Morneau missed the political landmine they have stepped on. Mr Butts, on the other hand, doesn't care, as long as he has the levers of power and willing idiots to do his bidding.

And third is that it is not really about “those who have more paying a little bit more” and paying taxes; it is about  the stark fact that Mr Trudeau’s spending is completely out of control and everyone will be paying: in higher taxes, in a weaker economy, and in the petty interference of government in their lives. The illusion of sunny days has been shattered, and the electorate sees dark clouds.
