In good faith, Mrs. Marois should work for free (duration of her term), thus set a good example, then she may tax the rich. As for now she should not be taken in a serious manner. She should ask Ottawa if she may print PQ dollars.

If that's the case Shirley Bishop, then why did she cancel the tuition hikes when the money from that will have to come from 5 million Quebecor's?

So how about that ? Who wouldn't have guessed that would be one of her first moves.
Don't you now wish you had voted Liberal in the last fiasco? I mean election... and there's more to come. You think so called students will be blocking traffic and banging pots late at night so you and your kids can't get to sleep for work and school ? Will they be trespassing onto college campuses and offices to which
they do not belong? Who will bang pots in the national assembly ? Who says
$130,000 a year makes you wealthy? That's less than $75,000 per year take home!
Taxes are already way too high. Elimnate draconian institutions like L'Office if you
want to save money. Beware of this monority government. I hope it will be very
short lived.

It seems as though the entitled children of our society have won again. It also seems that having the lowest tuition rates wasn’t enough. Nothing will ever be good enough for those who can cause a fuss. So if our doctors and lawyers and all the professionals in our province go on strike like the students, what then? Will we then return the cost where it belongs? I am not opposed to paying for my child’s education and I think that at our tuition rates, this slight increase was us getting off easy. Now that the PQ holds the reins we are in for a whole lot of trouble. She will obviously do this to please the students that voted for her, that’s how she got here in the first place and although this election none of the choices seemed appealing we managed to go from bad to worse.
We have a hard enough time keeping our doctors in Quebec as we pay them some of the lowest salaries, as with our nurses and then we turn around and raise their taxes? I’d like to see if this causes the higher income families to go on strike, like the students did what she will do then. But they won’t because they are not part of the self-important, entitled generation that we have brought up.

As a headhunter, I meet allot of candidates who refuse job offers because it doesn’t pay them much more than being on chomage.
So I say great Pauline Marois!!, you have just encouraged the lazy to become lazier and punish the rich for working hard.
I don’t come from money, and my family was far from rich but we had drive and motivation and worked really hard to get where we are
SO thank you for stripping my motivation
Being successful requires many hours ..more than the average 40hour week; surely if some people worked more than that maybe they would be rich as welll!!

Instead of encouraging laziness we should motivate the RICH to move here by keeping taxes at a reasonable level, this way, there would be more taxes generated

One question the PQ should ponder on….
Who will help the less fortunate if the Rich move out of Quebec?? we do contribute close to 1 billion dollars.
Who will you tax then..The POOR!!!

Which of the below is true:

a) Tax payers earning $130,000 or even $250,000 for that matter and paying their full share of income taxes in many cases are no better off than many others earning less but paying even lower (or no!) taxes.

b) Tax payers earning above $130,000 already pay more than their fair share of taxes, and are the heaviest taxed in North America

c) If Mme Marois is successful with her planned tax hike, enough high earners will eventually leave the province that the policy will wind up creating a net short fall in taxes. Too bad one those tax payers won't have the opportunity to leave the province retroactively!

The answer? All of the above.

Phew! Never in my whole life have I ever been as happy as I am now not to be wealthy. If I were though I would move my business and myself to Ontario. If I could not move the business to Ontario I would move it to the West Island (if not already there) and still move myself! According to the HEC, Quebec will soon be Canada's poorest province! Marois is simply sppeding up the day that it will be.

Thsi idea of higher taxes for anyone making 130K and more.
1. It will not motivate anyone to succeed and get rich in Quebec.
2. it will keep everyone unmotivated and uniterested to make money succeed or expand in Quebec, because there is no insentive all the extra monwy they wll make will just go to the PQ.
3. No new investors will move to Quebec.
4. Any wealthy company or person will attempt to leave, create a tax haven, move, have an address in Ontario etc.
5.Quebec will becom more and more poor with less and less of a tax base.
6.Those wealthy will move and they will take all the jobs they create with them so more and more people not just the wealthy will be poorer and poorer.
7. Very bad idea all around. A government should be trying to attract money and business. This govenment is insane period!!!!!!completely irresponsible and pathetic. They dont know what tehy are doing It will destroy Quebec.
But maybe thats what the PQ wants get rid of all ANglo Allo and wealthy then we can have our country. Because who votes for us ??? The loserson BS

Go ahead Marois, tax the high income earners more. You will see more and more professionals and high income earners leaving the province and being able to make more money elsewhere. This will put more and more pressure to come up with revenue from a dwindling tax base. In Quebec, it is not $130,000 that is considered to make you a rich person, in Quebec, anyone making more than $50,000 is considered rich. Increasing taxes is the government's answer to everything.

Many doctors are already leaving the province in droves because of the lower salaries compared to other provinces/countries and the onerous work conditions faced by new doctors when they graduate and fulfill their residency requirements.

This province is headed towards becoming a welfare state if it is not already one.
