policies that make low taxes on the rich the highest priority, even if lack of revenue undermines basic public services.

Federal revenue is over two trillion dollars.

Also the rich don't have low taxes. (Even those who have lots of deductions have the AMT)

But last month Toyota decided to put the new plant, which will produce RAV4 mini-S.U.V.'s, in Ontario. Explaining why it passed up financial incentives to choose a U.S. location, the company cited the quality of Ontario's work force.

If this is true, it has little to do with taxes and resources available for government spending on education. The US is near, probably at, the top in terms of education spending per pupil.

More generally there hasn't been a large scale movement of jobs from America to Canada and Canada's unemployment rate is higher then America's.
