If spousal income was left alone, there would not be a flood of wealthy people lining up to marry ODSP recipients. It just isn’t going to happen. The most that will happen is that some families will be able to rise above poverty, but I doubt they will become millionaires.

Taxpayers would be extremely upset if high priced lawyer’s wives could collect full ODSP benefits.

Until they deal with problems that ODSP rules have about spousal income, imposition of barriers to self-employment, having to drain all of one’s retirement income before going on … I am personally so mad at this government’s cocky attitude thinking that they have achieved anything by this stuff, while they continue to trap families into legislated poverty.
