Ugh. Autistic children are a severe chore. I have nothing but sympathy for their parents, teachers, care providers, etc. Youngest brother is autistic. He was homeschooled. Broken home, here. Didn't grow up with my mother, but father instead. However, my brothers both raised by my mother, who was stay at home, while her second husband worked. She did alright with my little brothers. But her method of teaching, discipline, and reward did not vary between either of my brothers. Autistic was not an excuse to her. I tend to think, whenever possible, this is the best way. I'm fully aware it doesn't always work, but when it does or can, it should be utilized. The habit of today's parents to raise their children as "special" is insane. And the complete lack of any personal responsibility should be held against the stay at home parents your wife deals with specifically, not all stay at home parents of dual parent households. The "I'm paying you even though really it's my tax credits that're paying you" crowd that shirks any responsibility whatsoever for their own children is just not good.

my wife has a mother of her student this year, stay at home mom, SEVERE anger issues, screams to communicate, even with child on her lap for the ZOOM conference. angrily turned down materials to help her son progress at home in first meeting. 2nd meeting screamed that her sons anger issues werent getting better, with him on her lap, and screamed she was going to school to be an "autistic teacher" because my wife had failed her son. kid learns anger first hand is the way to act, she denies materials to help, then screams hes too angry and shes going to get a bachelors overnight to fix him.

Personal allowance up to £15k (0% tax)
£15,000 - £65,000 @ 15%
£65,000 - £150,000 @ 30%
£150,000+ @ 40%

Something like that. The taxation system must be progressive and the tax boundaries will have to change every few years to prevent fiscal drag

12% flat tax. Deductions only for married couples with children.



This is a myth. The rich just found ways around it they never actually paid 90%.

This is also the reason for the complete econimic disaster of the 70’s



Single moms are a plague

I dont think id ever want to see taxes above 30%. Spending almost half my day working for the government to mismanage my earnings isn't my idea of an ideal society. If anything i should have a stronger say in how funds are managed if its my dollars being used to prop up society.

20% flat tax with no automatic witholding for taxes. people must write a check quarterly and government must spend accordingly. if we must have progressive tax system cap it at like 30%.

20-25% national sales tax to replace the income tax, with exemptions for essentials like food, clothing, primary housing etc.

You're Canadian. If you make any significant income you're going to see that number pretty quickly. Im Canadian and i'm at 55%.

I mean even a salary of 125K in Ontario before other payroll taxes like CPP and EI will result in you having a 30% average tax rate and a 44%ish marginal rate. By the time you factor in CPP and EI you're getting up there.

Sorry man but you already see 30% probably. Sure RRSP deductions will bring you down a bit but unless you have some other significant losses to use up you're there!

Thats kind of why tax policy is my first concern when it comes to voting. Don't think I'd ever vote ndp who want to come after my investments on top of our high taxes.

Social Security should be replaced by a national investment fund, with the end result that the country owns a substantial share of the gross domestic product and can therefore supplement tax revenue with economic production.

It would be ideal to reduce income tax rates for the middle / upper-middle class, but our immediate need is to balance the deficit and target inflation of 3%, thereby reducing the purchasing power of the national debt over time.

We should also look at implementing a national VAT.
