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?

I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone in Canada that is opposed to the betterment of society. I mean, I think we have built a pretty good country overall. And it has a pretty substantial amount of wealth redistribution now.
The question isn't whether there should
be some, the question is: how much is the right amount?
But if you are going to approach the issue from the point of view that people who disagree with you on what is the right amount are ignorant #######s, you aren't going to get very far.
