How about we just tax the rich person to pay for a basic human right, healthcare. We have a single payer healthcare system in Canada and the vast majority of the citizens are happy with it, you can even get insurance to pay for extra perks. Travel abroad is another option the wealthy have and we don't need to have our health care system distorted by greed and profit. Politicians and their families should be required to use the Canadian healthcare system unless extreme circumstances deem otherwise, if not they would end up in the private system and everybody's healthcare would suffer. Most Canadians are like me, we vehemently disagree with your perspective and ideology,
91% of Canadians prefer their healthcare system, except for a few brainwashed libertarians mostly in Alberta.
Buck has sharply pointed out some flaws in you and your arguments, he is intelligent and perceptive and can see things in your posts that you are blind to because of your biases. He seems to post from his phone while working as a contractor and independent businessman and his comments are brief and to the point, sometimes that point is a little to sharp for some. Calling Buck "an absolute idiot" is an escalation, Buck throws people off guard to reveal their true intentions, logical flaws and personal flaws. You wanted to keep it civil, so lead by example, being civil does not mean you can't piss someone off to get below the veneer of civility and to the core of their true motives. Libertarianism is only a rationalization for personal greed and an antisocial ideology, no different than fascism and as practical in economic terms as Lenin's version of communism. Remember, Buck is an actual capitalist, you are an employee, a bean counter.
I more or less consider this topic to be within the realm of American domestic business and most Canadians can only extol the virtues of our system and hope they try to emulate it in some way.
