<<That may be the case in Canada with its different demographics and culture but in the US fewer than half of us pay income tax.>>

That is so in most countries, because children, homeless, jobless, destitute, many elderly. do not pay income tax.(would that be 50 percent?? 60 percent?? of population not paying ...i don't know ...maybe?

No comment on <<it is called having a heart>> I see, lol.

Nearly all adults pay some form of tax that go to government coffers that support government programs...in Canada they are many, including health care.

In the US, the programs are many also...supporting banks as example, but not health care...that costs 12 grand a year for a family of 4 if you can afford it, or have a job that pays for it.
