Me (in response to Conservative Majority): I'm going to move to Sweden where they have %50 taxes and everything's free.
Parents: *scoff* It won't be free, think again.
Me: Yeah, free university and social services.
Parents: Just wait until half your hard earned money goes towards paying for everyone else's education.
Me: What is wrong with that?? Maybe I wish for my fellow Canadians to be educated and supported by their peers Maybe I wouldn't mind a portion of even my minuscule paycheck being collected to end poverty, or to finance a bright student's university degree. All for one, eh? Why is it acceptable to be obnoxiously and flamboyantly patriotic, but taboo to suggest we help each other out?
Parents: You have a lot to learn about life.
Me: You have a lot to learn about me.
Sigh.
