Comment: I personally admire Bill Morneau.  He seems like he is genuinely trying.  It is just that he, like many others who have never had to start a business or find a job or save for retirement, has no practical experience at what it is to be middle class.  I know many people who make over $100k/year but without pensions.  None are "rich" and all are going to be working a long time because they are still paying off mortgages in their late 40's/early 50's.  Now that they are finally in a place where they are making good money, they are being told they are the problem in the country - they are rich and aren't paying enough taxes.
Meanwhile, the government paid $200k for artwork on the cover of the 2017 budget, which is the federal tax paid by someone who makes $700k/year.  Get rid of wasteful practices instead of more revenue to continue wasteful practices.
