EL OH EL


Looks like the Canucks have overtaken the US for the wealthiest middle class.

Why the U.S. middle class is falling behind Canada’s - CBS News

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/01/up...-off.html?_r=0

The article did state that Canucks have many of the same problems that the US middle class has, but that in general, they feel more secure and better of than the US middle class.

In before left wing policies led to Cuba, N. Korea and Russia.

Again, El Oh El

Our left-wing policies and generous safety nets have also bankrupted us.

Canada’s budget surplus could exceed forecast, Flaherty says

In an interview with CTV’s Question Period Sunday, Flaherty’s assessment of the budget surplus fell in line with an estimate from the parliamentary budget office a month ago that the government could achieve a surplus of $4.6 billion by 2015.

I like Canada, but the effective tax rate on $200K is close to 36% vs 24%-28% in the US.

Canada was not hit with a housing recession from a housing bubble like the US.

That is where a lot of middle class US residents' lost.

You mean like how ours used to be? Why it's almost as if it cost money to have a modern functioning country.

And the question you should be asking is, why didn't they go through a housing crisis like we did

Wasn't everyone on the right (and even the left) in a clamor when the US lost its AAA credit rating? So what your saying is, it doesn't matter what are credit rating is, correct? Please correct me if I misunderstood you.
