"Mark Clowney" is not criticism.

The point is: Yes, more taxes, but if not then there is literally nothing stopping them from doing good with their money right now. This moment. Not next year when they file their taxes.

I understand the extreme difference between millions and billions. My point is neither a millionaire nor a billionaire needs it.

This is about "millionaires begging to be taxed" instead of doing it themselves. I am not expecting them all to do it, just the ones who seem to not want to keep their money so others can benefit.

If you aren't going to elaborate at least do us both the favour of not wasting our time.

No it doesn't. It creates caring people working to benefit their communities with the excess they have been blessed with. Do good for good sake.

We need to increase the military budget. That isn't Conservative, it is a reality.

What tax cuts are you referring to? I have only heard of the tax cut for middle class, and that was supported by the NDP from what I know.

Anyone with either millions or billions is the problem because no single person needs either.

For a "Progressive", you sure do like to use Conservative talking points and nicknames a lot.

How about instead of begging to be taxed you invest that money into a project needed to help Canadians who aren't well off.

Build housing with your money.

Build infrastructure with your money.

Help others fund Green alternatives with your money.

Donate to the thousands of charities who will do this all for you if you are lazy.

But stop bitching like you do not have the option to spend that money well on your own for the benefit of others. Especially when the rhetoric is "Government bad" at all times making it really hard to push for a tax increase on anyone.

Thank you for sharing this absolutely hilarious story. Gave me a hearty laugh in the morning. haha

Good luck getting passed it! I know I wouldn't be strong enough. haha

I would suggest going to the Library and seeing if they have a Russian language course, or finding one at a book store if you can afford it. I find having an actual structured course helps me in my learning, and it will usually include resources like audio.

Pot meet kettle.

Have a good one.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have no experience in C, but I do like Python.

Japanese is a language I have on the burner to learn. I have had a full course on it for years but never got around to getting beyond basic greetings.

After I am done learning Greek, I am going to refresh and learn more French, and then Japanese is next because I love Anime and Manga and want to watch/read it as it should be.

What made you decide to learn Portuguese?

That is one of the harder things I have noticed about learning language in general. There is always a clear difference between how a language "should be spoken" and how it actually is in practice with native speakers.

What got you interested in Mandarin?

I found the alphabet and grammar easy to understand personally, which is why I am able to read before I can do basically anything else.

Greek is spoken in Greece and numerous other countries because of the Greek diasporas in the world.

Coming from a Greek family, while the locals may speak English they generally prefer to and appreciate speaking in Greek especially in Greece.

Thank you for the well wishes.
