You shouldn't say things like that. We have plenty of examples here in the US of people making comments such as that. And you know what, they left. All the productive people left Detroit. They got tired of the so called parasites.
If/when canada or any other country provides me with a more beneficial situation from a taxation standpoint, you can bet your ass that both me, and my 6 figures i pay in taxes will leave the country. I take nothing from the government, i am a single male, with no kids, and have never used any of the services from the government besides roads, tell me something wise ass, when people like me all decide to leave, who do you think will shoulder the bill for the losers who think the government should pay for them to go to the emergency room every time they have a hiccup?
I heard interviews with people that worked in banks and they said that the pressure was on to place subprime loans and that there were govt guarantees on same. The S&L crisis was in the 80's and the TV stories about redlining and increase in subprime loans were in the '90's and after, so the idiocy was continuing even while we were paying for the cleanup of the previous idiocy....
Interesting article from the New York Times written in September of 1999. http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/30/business/fannie-mae-eases-credit-to-aid-mortgage-lending.html Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980's. ''From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,'' said Peter Wallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ''If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.''

Lol. Ok, look, you can focus on the taxes you pay and be sore about it, or you can focus on the money you get to keep and be happy. In your case it sounds like complaining about taxes is quite unnecessary.
