<< Burning question - will this force Limbaugh to move out of the country to avoid a hit to his 400m income? He's already moved out of NYC... <ggg> >> He is welcome to become citizen of Canada...his 400 million income would be taxed almost the same and his big mouth wouldn't bother us as we have all kinds of parties to choose from...bonus for him , his everyday health care needs would be looked after...no paper hurdles, and if not satisfied, he could jet off to the Mayo and be welcomed... cash customer. <<<Myth: Taxes in Canada are extremely high, mostly because of national health care. In actuality, taxes are nearly equal on both sides of the border. Overall, Canada's taxes are slightly higher than those in the U.S. However, Canadians are afforded many benefits for their tax dollars, even beyond health care (e.g., tax credits, family allowance, cheaper higher education), so the end result is a wash. At the end of the day, the average after-tax income of Canadian workers is equal to about 82 percent of their gross pay. In the U.S., that average is 81.9 percent.>>> denverpost.com The rich and richer GS boys can citizen up too..<<gg>> breakingviews.com
