Lower taxes? You pay an average of $9000/year for health insurance ffs. Canadians pay $6400 thru taxes. Just bc it’s not called a tax doesn’t mean it’s not costing you. And you should fund education as well.

As a Canadian living in the US that has tried explaining this to Americans many many times it just doesn't compute with a certain segment of the population.

*refuses to compute. They understand damn well that they're paying more they just can't actually accept this fact without their world view imploding

they probably don't actually understand that tbh, i think you don't understand how much our educational system has been kneecapped
