Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereโs a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need ๐ช๐ฐ๐ช
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship โ like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
