I do think if your going to take this path heavy regulation is the way to go. But it doesn't change the fact that trickle down economics has failed as an economic theory.

Perhaps my ignorance is on full display, but I disagree.
Trickle down fails because the system assumes the money will trickle down by the laws of supply and demand and goodwill, and it actually doesn't do so. My system mandates the money to flow to employees. Its different.
If you increased business taxes by a given brackets amount and that money went directly to the same programs for the same amount I am proposing, the average net impact on the business across Canada would be the same, and the employees would feel the exact same 'help' but you wouldn't call it trickle down.
