What do you recommend as a solution? Do you honestly think if MS and a few other companies paid more in tax things will magically get better? Do you trust the government to send that money properly? The problem runs much much deeper. This is only scratching the surface.

I can't speak for places outside of the Americas because I've only travelled in the Americas for the last 10 years. But from Northern Quebec to Idaho to Florida to Nassau to Saskatoon bridges are cracking, rail is buckling, public transportation is lacking, etc. Health care wait times are bad or prices are ridiculous because of the false market we have created.

So do I think governments having more money NOT by squeezing me and all those I live near more is a good thing? Why yes, yes I do.

The wealthiest being job creators is bullshit. It's always been bullshit.

Microsoft is anti-consumer. Fuck them, let them pay taxes like the rest of us.

Unfortunately, those same governments don't see it as a mutually exclusive matter. They want to both tax you and everyone else. Not only that, they will end up wasting that money and nothing will get accomplished. You said it yourself, Canada has very bad wait times for healthcare. We need a fundamental solution.

I have never experienced bad wait time in Canada. In rural areas this is more common. I emigrated FROM the use TO Canada for its healthcare.

I also don't think that governments "waste" money. That is more right wing bullshit talking point propaganda. The rich ARE NOT job creators.
