It depends a lot which country, and who’s elected, and what the voter base is demanding.
I can personally compare Québec, Canada vs Denver, USA.
The US government, I feel like it truely doesn’t give a shit about individual people. Only profits and corporations. Québec has a ton of social programs, they kinda suck out of massive incompetence, but they do exist. You’re not gonna get sick and go bankrupt and then homeless. Unemployment is much more accessible. There’s always welfare to back you up if you end up in deep shit, it’s tight but it’ll feed you, sort of. I feel like the Canadian government generally tries to fight for the people, some would say at the cost of the economy, whatever, we’re alive and fine.
I don’t exactly feel like my taxes are used well especially at the 52% bracket, but I do feel like I get some out of it, whereas in the US you just kinda have to pay 12 different for profit companies to get anything.
