I mean it is a poor example. 100% of taxes that are collected from Singaporeans are invested in Singapore.I just came back from Singapore. Not a homeless person, or any litter or infrastructure neglect to be seen. And no they don’t lock up the homeless, they just ensure everyone is housed by the government. But that will just invite some to tell us why Singapore is a bad example.
In Toronto, approximately 50% of our taxes go to the Feds, and 40% go to the province. The City is left with 10% (basically property taxes) to invest in itself.
