I still don't think it's that high. Of course, if you did do that,
then you'd
have to do a calculation of ALL taxes on both sides of the border to
do a comparison. Canada's income taxes are higher in comparison
to US income taxes. But in Canada, CPP and EI (payroll taxes) are
lower than the US's FICA and Medicare contributions, which evens it
out some. You'd also have to include whatever amounts are being paid
in health insurance premiums by people in the US. When all is added
together the difference in taxes between Canada and the higher taxed
US states is not as wide as what many people believe.

I think you may be right. One way or another, the piper wants to be
paid.

Wants to be paid? ---Demands to be paid! Not paying taxes will usually get
you locked up faster than many items. Just ask organised crime. More of them
go down to taxes than anything. At least the ones at the top. They did not
get to the top being stupid. They can carefully cover most law breaking but
showing wealth as legitimate and properly taxed is where they tend to get
tripped up.
