Oh no, pay into society to help others? At what cost though? Oh a shaving off my income for benefits that make places safer, give people a better social net etc. Mean that was classic ndp anyways unsure exactly now since been awhile since I checked.

Oh sure I could pay more myself (classic argument of someone saying paying more isn't terrible as a peronsalble action, not directed to who I'm replying to since no mention was brought up not a dig at them specifically) but the ones that do can't pay enough, and society for a comfortable life requires more.

Don't have kids? Well we live in a society that needs kids to be well educated. If anything we should offer free post secondary education to people who can make it through.

Don't want to help out those with lesser income? Well we live in a society that can help them and their children prosper with some investment, don't want to help? Don't live here. Be a part to help encourage growth and education.

Yes taxes suck, but I wouldn't want to live in a spot without them, potholed roads, crappy education and more homeless, let alone emergency services. How is that a better outcome than us helping those within our borders? Oh your car was broken into? Yes if we had a better social net it it would happen less often but perhaps not for someone personally, it'll happen cause people are well human.

I also understand that helping everyone doesn't bring issues down to zero but with well funded programs it's a good start.

Not that I want to be taxed to hell, but I like the idea of taxes helping directly. And will gladly live in a spot that has programs to help others with my taxes even if costing more.

Weren't we all taught to help people anyways? Okay government waste etc, but I prefer a party that tries isl.
