In what world do Politicians ask 7 figure earners to pay more in taxes? They don't dare bite the hand of those who fund them. Let alone that most of them don't have their earnings as income.
There's a healthy number of Albertans in the 100 to 150 range who can have their rate dialed up a 1.5% and all the other brackets above that move up to suit. For most of these people it's not like they can go to BC or Ontario and find a better paying job there with lower taxes and lower cost of living.
Rich people can move...losers like me who hope to get into that range...we're not as mobile.
