Remember the worry that higher capital gains taxes would hurt productivity? Turns out that positive capital taxes are positively correlated with output per work hour.
New report on Canada's tax system with @DTCochrane updates one of my favourite reports from way back in 2007 (!). Thread follows. TL;DR when all income and taxes are counted the tax system is fairly flat and regressive at the top. policyalternatives.ca/publications/r…
This is an excellent overview by @DTCochrane for @CDN_Dimension of 🇨🇦"s #Budget2024, putting valuable context around the debate on capital gains. Thanks Troy! canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
"The increase to capital gains taxes is an important, if minor, reversal of tax cuts that increased the wealth and power of the richest families at the expense of everyone else." @DTCochrane on why #Budget2024 is a small step toward a grown-up economy: canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
Can we grow up and stop thinking we can "leave it to the market"? canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

New report for tax filing day today! @ccpa senior economist, @MarcLeeCCPA shows that Canada’s tax system is not as progressive many think! The highest-income households have been paying increasingly less tax, proportionately, than lower-income households. monitormag.ca/reports/canada…

Hey remember last week when the most annoying people on the internet were crying about capital gains taxes? That was great. Anyways this is why they were wrong.
Exactly. Markets be attracted with strategically created demand.
Capital gains: What are they and why are Canada’s ultra rich freaking out? @CanadianLabour Senior Economist @DTCochrane joins @_llebrun on the Sources podcast to explain how the 2024 federal Budget is going to change the way we tax capital gains pressprogress.ca/capital-gains-… #cdnpoli
Bosses realizing they aren’t necessary.
Everyone complaining about the increase to capital gains taxes is complaining about how rich they are.

Periodic Jens von Bergmann (@vb_jens) appreciation tweet. statcanR has been essential to my data analysis. Just discovered the cansim package. Unbelievably helpful.
Higher capital taxes induce liquidation of low productivity assets. The tax revenue can be used to support invention, innovation, and implementation of high productivity assets.
I appreciate this 🧵 as someone still new-ish to policy-making. It’s critical but not dismissive. It’s applied, but also abstract enough to be analytically useful.

This is also false. There are about 150,000 BC First Nations people in the province right now. The lowest estimate for pre-contact population was 200,000. There’s no dialogue that can come from ignorance.
@rjjago The Indigenous population in Canada has increased roughly 300-600% since contact. It’s an important thought experiment but a counterproductive political orientation. Aren’t we better off moving forward as equals than tabulating the debits and credits of the distant past?

The right can't produce a menswear guy because their love of "tradition" is entirely superficial & they actually know nothing about the "culture" they revere. They get mad at the menswear guy because he exposes the hollowness and fraudulence of the whole conservative enterprise.
Yes the menswear guy is a guy is a lib who makes fun of conservatives a lot, but it’s very funny how mad this makes online conservatives, like shouldn’t the expert on traditional tailoring be a conservative? Why can’t the online conservative ecosystem produce its own menswear guy
