Some thoughts on the Conservative Party platform...
The first line-item on their fiscal track is "Revenue gain from additional homes built." I don't know how to break it to them -- building homes doesn't add Federal government revenue. The Feds don't collect property taxes. Building more homes doesn't add any revenue unless you add *more people* for more income tax. 🤔
