Perhaps you don't know that some employers in those God-forsaken socialist countries will offer a “top-up” benefit, which pays a portion of your regular salary in addition to normal maternity/paternity benefits.

I don't understand why American-elite are so tax adverse, higher taxes could be used to support a more stable society, and consequently, protect their own wealth.



They are adverse because your tax rate is to use a legal term: fucking insane.

Did you know that before Obamacare / Bushcare, America spent more on medicaid as a percentage of GDP than Canada did for its entire healthcare system?

Protip: Make your government more efficient, and stop spending more than every other nation on earth combined on arms. Or just watch the cross of iron speech from 60 years ago where Dwight 'bombs away' Einsenhower said your military spending was to use a political term: fucking insane.
