In a sane world, governments exist to improve the lives of people (at a minimum). The worst incidents of my life all stem from the provincial and federal governments repeatedly punishing me financially for being successful in ways that make you feel trapped in a Kafkaesque prison of despair. I realize that many Canadians benefit from the system, and hence will exhibit zero empathy but in a just world, this reality should not be tolerated. It can't be that a government owns 65%+ of all of your worth once all taxes are added up. Send me good vibes. Going through a very difficult time.
One advantage of having many distinct sovereign nations instead of a single world government is that they can try different policies and we can see which work best.
@IvanOnTech The tops don't line up, the bottoms do. Just like in all markets. Has nothing to do with the halving. We can easily go up for another 6 months and still have a normal 4 year cycle.
