Vek,
I never said that the US was socially irresponsible, that is your interpretation. I am stating facts. In Canada we are taxed at much higher levels federally, provincially and municipally. These resources fund more generous social programs and universal health care. I never meant to denigrate your country or to imply that you have no social conscience. I respect the fierce independence of Americans as I have always looked after myself and my family. No governments handouts for me please.
I’ve never voted for the socialist parties in Canada but alas this is where we find ourselves now. By the way, I am also concerned for your country and the path that the current administration has put you on. We should fight the enemy not ourselves.
Nick
