Americans Are Taxed More Than Canucks

[  Mood: Cool ]
[ Currently: Breasfeeding my son ]
Dharma and I have come to blows on this site more than once about the whole US/Canada thing. In that sick, we still love each other sibling kind of way.

A reoccuring theme is that Dharma thinks it’s ridiculous that I pay high income taxes. And like many Canadians, I simply grin and point to universal health care. Not having to figure out if I could afford an epidural during delivery was very nice.

So imagine my surprise when Todd Maffin linked to this page. US personal income tax is 37.7%. Canada’s is 35%.

Wow. That argument will be interesting next time it pops up.
