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.

I'd happily pay a more taxes for free post-secondary, universal child care, etc., despite the fact that I'm already graduated and will never have children.
Why is the general betterment of society so abhorrent to some people?
Also, do rich people think they don't benefit from having a healthy and educated workforce?
