Not ... progressive... enough ... for Martin Hash.

50% of the world getting more wealthy. Top earners in America providing the most tax money. Not good enough.

Kind of shows the problem with democracy rather clearly.

The average income tax rate in the United States is 29.5%.

The average income tax rate in Canada is <drum roll>...

... 29%.

Mind you, in Canada that 29% includes health insurance, in the United States you'll have to pay a premium on top.

The average American is drowning in muscle cars, firearms, rock n’ roll, and iPhones.

The average Canadian is huddled around an 18th century wood-burning stove and wrapping aluminum foil around the rabbit ears of their old picture tube TV trying to get the hockey game.

Oh yeah? How many muscle cars you got? I got two. How many guns you got? I got seven. How many songs in your iTunes? I got 10,000 or so.

I can still criticize feminists on Twitter without getting locked in prison. I at least have that going for me.

You’re a Tory ex-soldier who’s 3/4 American by any reasonable measure. Wasn’t one of your parents Californian?

You’re hardly the average Canadian.
They’d deport you if they knew what this forum knows about you.

Two of my grandparents were Americans, my father never took his US citizenship and returned to Canada upon completing college. I'm from Vancouver, raised in Toronto, and my father went to Berkeley, we're hardly what you would call Canadian Rednecks.

Go fall trees, cut, split logs, continue to stuff wood in an angry contraption for a decade or two and it loses it's luster a little.

I'm sure I could upgrade the stove, with the money I won't be spending for health insurance.
