This post hits it on the head. There's few things that piss me off more than people who make around middle class income but every election demand a litany of incremental government programs/benefits like it's somehow a violation of their human rights to not be provided those things without having to pay any more themselves.
Those folks pay in aggregate ~7-10k/yr in cash taxes but demand in addition to free healthcare, education and the smattering of government services already available to them that their measly taxes come up no where close to paying for their personal share of, $10/day daycare, pharmacare, fee post secondary tuition etc. etc. and it's all up to someone else to pay for it.
