do you even know how vat taxes work? the last person pays for the taxes paid in front of it. it doesn't say that on their receipt, no, but the costs are certainly passed along. basically everything in europe is 20% more expensive than it would be without the tax

also why do i care about healthcare unless i need it? it's a rare thing to need unless you're a f**k boomer. all healthcare insurance/socialized healthcare is is sucking wealth from the young and able to give to the old and feeble boomers. if you take very high deductible insurance instead for catastrophic, you're covered, but insurance these days needs to meet X requirements or else you get taxed, thanks you obama you goddamn boomer, sucking all the wealth from your parents and children

The problem is to much money in to few hands. Some piles of wealth are so excessive, 90% could be removed and it would still be excessive.

Canada only spends 5% more of GDP huh? Well shit, that's not bad at all. Worth it for healthcare alone.
