Make the Super Rich Pay Their Fair Share.

Make the Super Rich Pay Their Fair Share.

In Doug Ford’s Ontario, everyday people can’t get ahead. They’re doing all the right things: working hard, paying their taxes, saving every spare dollar. And they’re still feeling left behind.

Meanwhile, the super rich are doing better than ever. Every hour, billionaires pocket more wealth than the average worker earns in an entire year. Doug Ford says the money isn’t there for healthcare, schools and affordable homes. But it’s sitting untaxed in trust funds, mansions and yachts.

Instead of asking the super rich to pay their fair share, the Ford government is cutting deals with them, because the people hoarding all the wealth are the same people who donate to him. Our government shouldn’t work for the rich and powerful. It should work for everyone else.

Mike Schreiner tabled a motion at Queen’s Park for a one-time tax of 5 per cent on wealth over $100 million and 10 per cent on wealth over $1 billion. It would raise more than $26 billion. We’re calling on the Ford government to:

Support the Ontario Greens’ motion for a wealth tax on the super rich.
Invest the money in the things everyday people need: healthcare, education and affordable housing.

Send a message to Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario

I’m writing to ask you to support the Ontario Greens’ wealth tax motion and make billionaires and multi-millionaires pay their fair share. As Premier, you decide whether this government acts. Almost no one else has that kind of power to bring fairness back to Ontario. Everyday people like me are doing all the right things: working hard, paying our taxes, saving every spare dollar. Meanwhile, billionaires pocket more wealth every hour than the average worker earns in an entire year. Your government says the money isn’t there to fix our hospitals, schools and housing. But it’s sitting untaxed in trust funds, mansions and yachts. The Ontario Greens’ motion calls for a one-time tax of 5 per cent on wealth over $100 million and 10 per cent on wealth over $1 billion, raising more than $26 billion. I’m asking you to: Support the Ontario Greens’ motion for a wealth tax on the super rich. Invest the money in the things everyday people need: healthcare, education and affordable housing. This is not a radical idea. What’s radical is letting the wealthiest among us hoard billions of dollars while everyone else struggles just to get by. Our government shouldn’t work for the rich and powerful. It should work for everyone else. I’m asking you to show you care about the people who live and work here, not just the people who donate to you.
