    They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they’ll have.

    Not only do working-class Canadians pay less in taxes overall, compared to working-class Americans, but we also pay less on our taxes for our healthcare, and don’t have to pay a single cent on top of that for essential healthcare.

    Where it does flip is with the “middle class”, on the upper end of the working class. They do pay more in taxes in Canada, but you’d have to be earning in the top-20% of all adults or families to see that happen. For the average Canadian adult or family, they pay less than their American counterparts.
