Re: Yes they fall short on immigration law in a lot of ways

Yeah I wonder how they manage that, the business would either have to be cooperating with them in their tax fraud or they'd have to supply a false SSN and not only be liable for charges in Canada but also in the US!

I wonder what the percentage of taxes + health care costs (including employer paid that you'd get if it was paid by the government) is in the US versus the tax rates in Canada where health care is free? I doubt it is nearly as large as the difference in tax rates alone would suggest.

Besides US tax rates aren't sustainable - we're running a deficit of around $1 trillion in a year with full employment and a growing economy. Imagine how big that deficit will be when we hit our next recession. Either taxes have to go up or we need to make major cuts to the largest budget items - social security, medicare, and defense.
