That's completely false. Our income brackets (Especially considering they are in Canadian dollars) are vastly lower than virtually all 50 states and the marginal rates are vastly higher. Combine sales taxes on top of that and there isn't a huge potential to tax higher without seeing a lot of people leave the country. The answer to our social problems are not tax more / spend more because we don't have the capacity to do that much more.
