+10.  We run a 10 person manufacturing company.  We rarely finance major purchases and owners' pay is kept quite low allowing profits to remain in the company (as retained earnings).  Several years ago we saved more than $1,000,000 of "dead money", then after 6 years build a new factory without financing.  Over those 6 years the money was invested in safe passive investments.  This is how we choose to run our business.  When the 2008 recession hit we weathered it no problem, unlike GM Canada that required a massive government bailout.

Now Mr. Morneau is proposing to tax the returns on this type of money at about 75% while he and Trudeau use rhetoric suggesting we are tax cheats.  Disgusting.
