In Canada we are taxed to death for our social programs and we rightfully take them as something we've paid for.

Except not everyone pays taxes. And those who do not still take. They are leaches.

Many people choose not to work. They think you are stupid for working. They still take all the things you worked for, while thinking you are pathetic.

Meanwhile the government has no incentive to get a good value for the money that was taken from you. You get half the value and then split that with the leaches.

However, the other side of that equation is that the governments figuratively wipe their asses with "your" money.

That is not "the other side" of anything. It's the same government robbing you a different way. Two wrongs don't make it right.

Mostly immigrants. Most Canadians I know of make it a point of honor to 'contribute' and be useful members of society, just like in the Scandinavian nations. You can't extrapolate the US entitlement mentality to other nations, it is fairly unique to that, and 3rd world countries.
