What a comparison - the BC NDP are not advocating for a  state like Venezuela. Nor are the NDP saying anything about raising capital gains tax - that opinion was just filler from a random egghead. No one is going to rob anyone, let alone at gunpoint as you suggest. 

The BC Liberals use a regressive tax system of fees in order to reduce income tax - they have been elected repeatedly on the mantra of low income tax. But taking revenue from fees instead of income tax keeps the poor poor and ensures the middle class struggle to make ends meet. 

The idea is to add another, upper end, tax bracket to a fair an transparent income tax system  - just like the Liberals did over the last two years. Perhaps the most telling differences are:
1. The NDP have the guts to campaign on this but the Liberals snuck it in once they were in office.
2. The NDP intend to keep it in place instead of what the Liberals did - remove the tax during an election year.

Please vote - but please think first.
