So my "far more progressive" statement is still wrong but thanks to aquinas my world hasn't been completely turned upside down. My head nearly exploded thinking that everything I've thought about American vs Canadian taxation was completely upside down. I must say I won't complain about our taxes for a while now that I know what a bargain we have (who knew?). I'm still surprised seeing the numbers. We've been indoctrinated to think that we're paying comparatively crazy taxes to pay for all of the perks.
