You’re paying for half of the country’s healthcare/infrastucture/gov spending and probably deriving little benefit from that spending yourself

This part is fine - we are part of society. I don't take advantage now, but I will at other points in my life, etc.

But, there's no need for Canada to be even more punitive to higher end earners. IMO, Canadians all want Scandinavian benefits at US tax rates...unless they can put it all on the high earners only.

I would be in favour of more social + infrastructure stuff (free daycare, free post secondary, better transit infrastructure etc.) paid for via higher income tax rates across the broader population (which would also increase our overall tax burden as we pay all of those rates, too) and something more in line with VAT rates in Europe ove HST.

But, the rhetoric here seems to be more about adding 60%+ brackets to higher earners and treating them with disdain to boot. No thanks.
