I was in a Panera waiting for my salad and heard the 2 young guys behind the counter talking about how they wanted to move to Canada because health care and school are free.
I wanted to ask them if the doctors and hospitals and teachers work for free there.
You're probably just get a blank stare.
Maybe they would be willing to work for free.
And wait till they get a load of house prices in Canada.
What they're really saying: they don't want to work, but they want to enjoy the benefits of the system. They want to do their own thing, but have everyone in the background supporting them or simply going along with it.
I hear this kind of talk constantly on the trains to and from work (in Manhattan). Also, a lot of hipster types have moved into my area (Brooklyn). Young people who have a hole in their logic. They seem to miss a fundamental knowledge of government or economy -- somehow, money just falls from the sky. If the minimum wage were raised to $15 an hour, or the 1% paid for everything, then life will be sunshine & unicorns.
