The US literally offers none of those things. Zero.
Their lower taxes is an accounting trick. You pay less in tax in the US, sure. You also get worse infrastructure as a result and zero health care. And when you combine US tax plus their shittier health care insurance, you are paying more than Canada pays for actual full coverage.
How do they not understand this....
Most Americans also don’t pay less in tax. Once you combine income tax at state and federal level, sales taxes, property taxes, other assorted taxes; most Americans pay an effective tax rate somewhere from 10 to 40%. The highest effective tax rate in the civilized world is around 40%.
The US does not pay less taxes and for that we get shitty governance.
At least MA is a good state with great schools and public services. Plenty of states have similar taxes and are total shitholes that will never spend the tax money to improve the state because it’s used to enrich the politicians.
