    We don’t want US people seceding to Canada. Enough of their individualistic, manifest destiny, American exceptionalism poison mindset. I don’t want any more of that ideology to infect Canada any more than it already has.

      any more than it already has

      So many people I know get fuming mad at the idea of higher taxes because they think their income is going to be given to the poor. It’s the same ‘one good move away from being a millionaire’ mentality that drives voters in red states.

        I want my taxes going to the poor! Society does better when we raise the floor, like how raising minimum wage also means that everyone else gets bumped up or how it’s cheaper to house the homeless and help them join a workforce as opposed to leaving them out on the streets.

        But more specifically I want the ultra-rich to actually pay their fucking taxes! They have the money, they can pony and help a little.
