They fail to comprehend how the tax and labour codes are being used to redistribute wealth upwards.
They’ve been brainwashed into believing that taxation is “theft” of the income, instead of their share of the costs of living in a first world country. Your share of the costs of the military, the justice system, public roads and infrastructure, and the property rights records and enforcement that make a first world nation possible. Like condo fees for your nation.
When tax dollars are reinvested in your country and your people, everyone benefits. But this whole “earned income credits” bullshit needs to end.
Pay the workers a living wage. It’s tax deductible. Having the government collect and distribute “earned income credits”, or food stamps to full time workers is insane.
Raise wages. It’s tax deductible, and it eliminates the bureaucracy involved in the administration of income supplement programs, which means it’s cheaper.
The USA has spent the last 20 years blowing trillions of dollars blowing shit up in 3rd World Countries. Imagine what your country would look like if you had spent that money improving your infrastructure at home. Reducing the cost of post secondary education, and providing universal healthcare.
People are a nation’s greatness. Your current system puts them against one another to claw your way to the top. Ours says let’s work together, help one another, and see what can accomplish.
Our Constitution says it’s our duty to help another. Our healthcare system was born of the belief that we all need this and the whole nation benefits when we’re healthy.
Our education system is the best we can make it so our children have the chance to achieve their potential.
I see it all around me and I see it in other countries atop the Best Places in the World to Live list too.
