OTOT..Don't worry, even Americans get confused by American politics. There was a recent article in the WSJ comparing economics of living in Canada vs. USA. Canadian tax burden is 29% higher than in US according to OECD. The CEO of Nortel has pointed out that it is getting difficult to attract skilled workers to Canada because a Nortel engineer take home pay in Texas is US $72,000, but a Canadian worker on the same pay scale takes home the equivalent of US $ 56,000. I guess Canadians think the wealth and income gap is worth it because the government welfare teat flows more freely. They are willing to have less freedom and lower standards of living to support better "social services". Most Americans are not. Now if more Americans who like big government would move to Canada, and Canadians who like small government would move to the US, it would suit me fine. To each his own, no insult to Canada implied. I'm an internationalist and feel at home almost anywhere in North America or Western Europe. I just prefer to live where hard work and sacrifice are rewarded better. One has only to look at the former Yugoslavia to realise how fortunate we are to live in either Canada or the US
