I don't know what Canada's tax amount would be, but perhaps handing over the Provinces of B.C. and Alberta would be a good down payment.
You in for that?

Hey, I agree with you that the U.S. shouldn't be on the hook for policing the world, but let's not pretend that there aren't ulterior motives for getting involved when they do. I can't think of too many situations when the U.S. became unilaterally involved in a conflict simply for altruistic purposes (nor do any other countries for that matter).
There are conflicts going on around the globe that the U.S. hasn't policed because no one stood to gain.
