Our tax rates are comparable to the USA, aren't they? I have no idea.
The difference is, though, the US Government spends the tax dollars very differently. The USA could do wonderful things for the people if they considered the people a priority.
Canada doesn't have 2 Wars going on. They aren't rebuilding someone else's country. They don't have an over-leveraged banking system.
I think the Navy does pay to patch the canoe when it gets a hole, though... but that's just a couple bucks
