If you see a return on investment only on people and infrastructure, then why not just tax everyone 100% and put all the money there?

It could be that the price of natural gas is worth next to nothing right now, so anyone that would do any exploration in the area is only throwing their money away, particularly because most of the natural gas in Saskatchewan is dry.
I guess it is possible that there are vast Saskatchewan Oil Sands which just haven't been discovered yet but it also could be that the Athabasca Oil Sands don't stretch to Saskatchewan.
I don't know what your last little jab was about, but you do see a positive return on investing money into a healthy population... and I am not in favour of a totalitarian communist regime, I just think that the government spending money in areas where there is a positive return on the investment is good,
Snide comments aside, do you think that a healthy population is more efficient than an unhealthy population?
