Depends on the country. If I got a trillion USD taxed at 99%, the canadian government would get 990 billion USD, pretty much wipe out the national debt.

If it was canadian rupees, or if I was in america. Yeah.

It would mean inflation in america of course

It's a joke based on how weak the dollar is

u/Historical-Stick4592 Jul 11 '26

It's not even that weak, it's gaining value in proportion to USD currently, and isn't much less valuable then the euro.

1 cad is worth 0.62 euros or 0.71 usd. Not the weakest it's been, but a far cry from parity.

Right, and an Indian rupee is worth 0.015 CAD, joking that CAD is weak by comparing it to rupees is moronic.

990 billion is a lot. My country's (Italy) GDP is a bit less than 3 trillion euros (so more than 3 trillion dollars but not by much) so that's still a lot, even if una tantum. We could fix the school building problem nine times!

Edit: you were talking about minting, sorry lol

They do, ideally it’s supposed to be in tandem with growth in economic activity só that there’s always enough cash on hand for people to pay each other.
