Why the hell aren't people demanding higher tax rates on the rich and corporations? During the post war years, Canada taxed high earners at much higher rates than today and it taxed average people much lower (no GST).

The result of high tax rates on the rich and low tax rates on the poor... a booming economy and the birth of the middle class. If the voters of Canada/Ontario start demanding that we go back to those tax rates, we could reverse the huge wealth gap we have today.
