Yeah, I get the contradiction to a point, but there is a big difference b/t working your ass off trying to live in Toronto and Justin's trust fund. Earning $300K as a household in Toronto is damn near poor compared to Justin.
I realize Justin is not responsible for non-fed taxes, but its misleading to not add all taxes in when lookign at what people actually take home: provincial, property, CPP, EI and so on.
Its really not 100% (see below as its a bit about it) about the value of the hand outs. I believe in universality or bust.
Whats next- if you make over $200K you don't get universal health care? I can absolutely see the class warfare: "you make $200K a year, you can afford to get a bill from the Ontario govt to cover your ER visit".
The value of the handouts is getting crazy: $7k year per kid, free university/college, subsidized rent and so on. Small town Ontario is covered with single moms who can make more money not working.
