What? Canada has a 15% corporate tax rate and they have national health care and other safety nets (as the left is constantly haranguing us about)?

We are definitely doing something wrong here ... where is that extra 20% going?

Not to the VA, that's for sure. But it's nice to know the Obammunist wants to send $30+ billion to Africa to improve health services there.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Aye, laddie you have asked the right question. Allow me.

Canada has NO federal or provincial school lunch program. No federal Department of Education. Unemployment benefits run for 26 weeks, that's it.

Canada has one federal police agency (RCMP) one spy agency (CSIS) and one signals intercept agency. Federal agencies like Agriculture and Fisheries do not have separate SWAT teams.

I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture. Canada's federal government is probably about 25% too big, but PM Harper is making it smaller. The US federal government is 4 times too big and getting bigger. Smaller government=less need for taxes.
