Her: "K, you're a homeowner with 100% equity, why are you rooting for a housing market crash?"

Me: "That's exactly why I'm rooting for it. I own this pile of wood and bricks, and the land it's on, outright. Long as the property taxes get paid, I'm beyond the reach of capitalism's attempt to enslave me under threat of homelessness. Unless I sell the place, I never have to think about rent or the market again. So fuck the investors, let their assets depreciate, so my friends and family can maybe afford to join me in escaping the rental treadmill."

a new comic about the end of the world ☢

The whole model of taxing "income" is wrong. We need to tax Wealth, not Income. Because the ones who desperately need taxing aren't the working folk.

Incidentally, in Canada there is a tax rebate called the "Canada Workers Benefit" (previously "Working Income Tax Benefit") which returns several thousand dollars to those within the bracket. It's a tiny band-aid step in the right direction, to lighten the tax load on those who are working for it, but the whole system needs to change.

It’s so much more expensive.

Please help because this HAS to work. I *must* live.
