Having lived in both the US and Canada I could see the difference very clearly. Poor Canadians have it much better than equally poor Americans. I don’t know what’s the income level that divides better/worse but there are fewer innovative companies and slightly higher taxes so net salaries are relatively lower in tech and other STEM fields. I still think it’s a good trade off since the society is better off as a whole since its quite common for humans to fall into hard times due to external factors beyond their control.
