true, If I were wealthy I would prefer their system, the fixed top rate of  
29 percent is nice for them, and ours is about to go up. The difference is 
when  you remove our massive defense spending, you realize how much more 
they are  taxed to pay for everything else, including their health care 
system. 
My point  is just that you cannot think the 25 dollars per month they 
charge per person  actually pays for their health care system. They tax you 
on 
the other end to  cover the majority of costs.

Actually, Canadians pay just about the same as the U.S. until you  reach a
certain income level and then folks in the U.S. pay more.

In  Canada: 15% on first $40,726; 22% on next $40,726; 26% on next $44,812
and  then 29% on any taxable income over $126,264.

In the U.S:  10% on  first $8,350; 15% on $8350-$33,950; 25% on
$33,950-$82,250; 28% on  $82,250-$171,550; 33% on $171,550-$372,950 and 35%
on $372,950 and  above.

The press corp is fact-adverse but very fable  friendly.
