No. Capital must go towards rent seeking. It's only logical to invest in things that make money for free.
This is labour's fault. If only we'd work harder and demand less pay (while not ever reducing spending), the economy would be great!

So, instead of helping to support local, independent grocers survive against Sobeys, Loblaws, and Metro, they're inviting further foreign control over our food infrastructure?
How could this possibly go wrong?
Shortly after mom passed on, it’d be Your house.
Touche.

Western society continues to have a comical abundance. It's just shared less equitably than it's been in a century.
The capital gains increase is progressive, and only applies to the portion of gains that exceeds $250k. So, yeah, they're clearly an edge case, but they're not paying the increase on the whole sale price or anything.
