Where will Canada’s future wealth come from?

Mabey that old saying You cant take it with you will have more meaning. Maybey people dont need billions of $ at death.
Just think what it may do for the economy if everyone spent most of their wealth before death, and that would solve the trust fund babies thing. And some of those would have to get out and make a living for themselves.
Dont have any answers just pondering ??

Not trying to take anything with me just helping my middleclass kids put kraft dinner in there kids plates. If you want to call them middleclass all work hard over 40hr weeks and live paycheck to paycheck.

Your thinking would gain you the approval of the UN.

Their plan includes a halt to inter-generational wealth transfers, or inheritance, since it causes "inequities and injustice". Look up the Habitat and UN Agenda documents and read it for yourself.

Just a bit of fly in the social justice ointment - if the UN buffs such as the despicable Prime Minstrel sock-puppet-who-walks-like-a-human would actually believe their own schtick and put it into practice why don't we see them handing out their inherited wealth (like JT), or quickly dispersing their trust funds for the common good?

Every one of those thieving, rotten, abominations is a world class hypocrite and liar.

"Everybody has to meet his Waterloo...", sang Stonewall Jackson,when I was a kid, and it's no less true today.

Be careful Burnt.
The preceding line in that tune is "Everybody has to pay".

I guess that would be my point,who put KD on your plate? You are helping them any way so why not now instead of in your estate?
I think some model could be worked out,not everyone would support any kind of tax but not everyone supports what we have now.
There are 4 persons controling 5 trillion $ is that a good model??

Conservative farmers east of marxitoba would take exception to your comment, having every bit as much to lose as western farmers.

Interestingly, I met an Albertan on sabbatical just this week, while he's taking an extended visit with his family very near our area.

His assessment is that the rural/farming areas of Ontario are more conservative than what he sees in his circles in the west.

From what I've observed on this forum, I would have to agree with his assessment.

That seems like a scientific poll!

An old motto in our family, if you're living paycheck to paycheck, don't have kids.

Kids should be like buying a house...don't have 50k saved up for downpayment, no kid for you.

How do people think "other" people and their offspring become burdens of the state? No self-control.

Buddy has 3 kids, spends every nickel he has. Wife tells him get snipped. He says, government is giving us 18k a year in support for these 3, lets make it 36k - that's more money than he made gross each year for the 3 years of the first job he had.

Another guy I know has 10 kids. Unfortunately his oldest just turned 18, so his 60k annual child payment is now only 54k. I don't know how he will be able to survive a hit like that. He might actually have to get a job after leaving his last one almost a decade ago.

Both of these guys, born and raised farm kids. So never think it is just the city dwellers after the government money.

Guess I was a bad role model I started out the same way and had kids. But I'm a 61 yr old fart with money now kids moved out !!!!!!!!
