It is not that I can't identify with what my friend said. It is just that he seemed to be advocating more government assistance to the problem of child poverty.
The only way for that to happen is to add more taxes.
Seeing you used to live in British Columbia, you know that most people seem to think that all big business are greedy and do not get their fair share of the taxes.
This to me is biting the hand that feeds them.
Although in my job, I am not paid great. Still I am treated very well and I have been told by management that my efforts do not go unnoticed.
Yet, I have heard some people at my work do nothing but complain about one thing or another. We have free coffee and tea at breaks and also have pizza days every 3 months. Yet, many speak as though they are entitled to these things. One person even refuses these kind of things because (in her words) they are sucking up to the workers and she doesn't go for that kind of thing.
I hope you get my point.
