    Starting today, the most generous tax cut for low-income workers in a generation comes into affect. The Low-income Individuals and Families Tax Credit will ensure that Ontarians earning under $30,000 annually will no longer pay any provincial income tax. #onpolipic.twitter.com/h6S4wjtuT0

        A family with two minimum wage earners making $15 an hour instead of $14..would have $2400 more at the end of the year WITHOUT your BS tax reduction. You're peddling a scam to make yourself look good while lining your rich pals pockets. No integrity at all. #onpoli

        A raise to $15. would have given them more money in their pocket. Stop trying to spin this. You've hurt low income workers, again. #onpoli

        Studies have shown that doesn't happen. We raised the rate to $14. and the sky didn't fall. Stop believing what the rich guys are telling you. They don't like to share. The head of the Chamber of Commerce sent a sarcastic tweet mocking poor people. What don't you understand?

        Sure they do. They don't want to cut into their profits so people can earn $15. It means they have to keep the Range Rover a little longer. Cut short the vacation in Tahiti. Poor souls. #onpoli

        the 'rich guys' just look at the numbers and automate when it becomes cheaper than paying people (incl benefits, payroll tax, insurance, etc.)

        @PattyOLimerick Have you seen this? Ford is subsidizing Walmart and McDonalds so they can pay their employees next to nothing. This shit enrages me.

        Except a $1/hr rise in the minimum wage would have given them more $$ to spend into the economy.

        I downloaded the tax tables for Ontario in 2019 for payroll purposes, and this simply is not true. The exemption for Ontario is $10582, not $30000. In order for people earning less than $30K to get this reduction at source, the exemption needs to be $30K. It isn't.pic.twitter.com/0dScuEUoOq

        These are the tax tables downloaded into my payroll system. On each line there would be a name, but I excluded that for obv reasons. This is the information EVERY SINGLE payroll person will use commencing Jan 1.

        If he’d kept the $15 minimum wage, low-incom earners would have taken home more money than this tax break gives them. You understand that, right?

        I understand it's probably a wash but now there is a job for said person rather than the business closing, contracting, or leaving. I also understand you are the cry baby left that I said has nothing positive to say or contribute ever.

        It's not that simple. What do you think companies do when their labour costs go up by 10 or 15% like they did last year? Do you think they say "hey let's make 10% less next year"?
