I am of the belief that the vast majority of Canadians don't put away $25,000+ each year (max RRSP, max TFSA). TFSA's are already brutally expensive in terms of government policy, and the benefit only goes to the top 10%.
Most common advice for low income people would be to skip the RRSP altogether and just put money into a TFSA.

The idea that everything needs to benefit everyone exactly the same is really silly. Should the RRSP be scrapped because it benefits higher income people more than lower income?
