This is exactly one of my friend (Canada). He as been self-employed for the past 15 years, basically doesn't pay taxes, had a lot of health problems all covered by the public system, uses all kind of governement services, and yet he keeps explaining to me how he's libertarian and how "leftist" governement ruins the country. The guy would be absolutly beated to the ground in a libertarian world but some youtubers convinced taxes (he doesn't pay) are unfair.
