My coworker was like, "in your working life you work like 40 years, you probably pay $2 million in taxes. Do you think you're getting your moneys worth? In Canada, you are not incentivised to work, sitting at home you can make more money than working"

I had to swing the conversation back to like, how about we tax the rich instead of attacking each other. I didn't realize how many of my coworkers were right-wing. There were more of them in tech than I thought.

Their logic is so stupid, too. "you pay $2M in 40 years and aren't getting what we pay for, so we should vote to cut taxes so we can get even less - and let's hope they cut it from education and healthcare like usual so when we're old there won't be anybody to take care of us!"

I have no idea how people with such a lack of logical and critical thinking skills end up in tech.
