I disproved both you and Ben when it comes to cost of living and taxes in Canada, yet both of you still persist. Ben swears and acts like an idiot to boot. So basically I don't want anything more to do with either of you. I will be taking a break from ABT at least until BoFox and Ocre come back so that I can have meaningful discussions with people who can actually have a civil discourse.
When you start being right, I'll admit I'm wrong.
You're always saying inaccurate things like "You have to be wealthy to get a degree in the US!".
I live within 1 hour drive time of 4 state system universities, including within 20 minutes of that one that is better than every college in Canada except one. That one is the most expensive at $10K a year tuition, so my son could live at home and get a degree from the 26th best college in the world for the cost of a nice car.
Or that crazy "Our universities are like your Ivy League!" assertion. Turns out you guys only have one measly college in the 30 best in the world, and our state schools lead the world just like our Ivy League does.
It's pretty obvious the things subsidized by the taxes I complained about will be cheaper (university/health care) but I can pull a lot of articles that say your groceries, imported goods, and housing costs more. (and is harder to afford because you guys make the same and the money is worth less)
The military you revile basically lets you sleep at night. The three guys with shotgun and pickup truck with some sheet metal bolted to it for shields army you guys have couldn't protect the town I live in.
We dominate you in tech.
Most of all, if the USA needed to be self sufficient, we could be. Have our own energy, manufacturing, food production, the means to defend it.
If the shit hits the fan, you'll rely on us hated Americans.
