    To have a such well developed condescending attitude toward the US he must be from 'old europe'.

    :cool:

  8. Sourced from the Canada Tax Tips website.

    The tax rate is the MARGINAL rate. Here's an example of how it works (rounding off numbers and brackets)

    You make $100,000CAD at the end of the year.

    0-32,000 @ 25% = 8,000
    32,000-64000 @ 33% = 10,560
    64,000-100,000 @ 40% = 14,400

    Add them all up and you get 8,000 + 10,560 + 14,400 = 32,960.

    Therefore, if you made $100,000CAD, you will be paying approx. 33% (or $32,960) of your income to taxes.

  10. condorll already mentioned that when it comes to the USA
    it's a regional issue. We have many states bigger than
    many countries after all! It's HUGE here, and you cannot
    describe it with a single brush stroke.

    I see a lot of people complain about the crime, and healthcare,etc
    but these are broad strokes.

    What would it be like for YOU is the real question.

    For example.... here is reality FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE


    1) I live in an area with A LOW CRIME RATE
    2) I live in an area with GREAT healthcare
    3) I live in an area with great food, variety of restaurants, etc
    4) I live in a gorgeous area with incredible year round weather
    5) I live in an area with beaches, mountains, deserts, etc
    6) I live in an area with good nightlife, and lots of hot babes
    7) Great connectivity and technological resources
    8) Tons of recreational activities

    9) The traffic sux
    10) The taxes are high
    11) The realestate expensive


    If I didn't tell you this was the USA would you believe me?


    peace
