I don't know, why don't you tell me?

Denmark. They have a higher standard of living, too. When the ultra-rich were taxed 90% in this country, so did we.

Denmark -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Income_Taxes_By_Country.svg

Interesting how close the taxation is between Canada and the U.S. I always thought it was much higher here. Even when we look at tax revenue as a percentage of GDP -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_revenue_as_percentage_of_GDP

How do you figure Denmark over Belgium from that chart?

Oops! (I was taken aback how small the difference between the U.S. and Canada was)
