#2If this article inspires anyone to finally move to Canada, there's lots of startups here in Toronto that are hiring. Also Amazon is hoping to fill 200 more desks this year in their Toronto office and Google is nearby in Waterloo.
Happy to help anyone interested.

#3> Denmark, with a tax burden of 49.6 percent, stands atop the OECD index. It also happens to be a wonderful place to live, with a high standard of living funded by a diversified, high-tech, export-driven economy.
Denmark is NOT a wonderful place to live. It is a stable society where everyone is equally poor except the tax dodgers. Furthermore, the climate is more bleak than Seattle. This article makes Denmark seem like THE place to be. It clearly is not. Just look at where the economic migrants are flocking to. That would be Germany. Furthermore, this article is a blatant propaganda piece. "More government is good for you" is the overriding mantra here. There is no discussion of the downsides of increasing taxation on the population at all. Instead, it is a pure puff piece which is engineered to make Canada seem great because of taxation. The reality is that the Canadians are functionally isolated from the United States. They decide their own policies. They decide their own cultural norms and laws. If anything, it is the decoupling of that region from the rest of the legislative United States that fosters such a wonderful culture localized to north of the US border. It's not taxation that makes Canada great, but jurisdiction and their right to self-determination.

It might be puffy, but it brings up points about how disastrous the attitude about tax cuts in the U.S. is.

#5 > "Much of the surrounding road and rail infrastructure is in even worse shape (the trip from LaGuardia Airport to midtown Manhattan being particularly appalling). Washington, D.C.’s semi-functional subway system feels like a World’s Fair exhibit that someone forgot to close down. "
Yes, those low tax, anti-government strongholds of NYC and DC are great examples of how more taxes will solve everything.

This thousand times. Socialism is an illusion. People should be able to pick their poison but please do not try to put one system above other.

Funny. The family friends I have in Denmark are among the wealthiest people I know. Would you consider yourself as far as someone who lives in Christiania?

I agree with you fully. The United States has HUGE problems, and taxes are nowhere near the biggest issue. The United States suffers from enormous cultural heterogeneity, leading to distrust, corruption, and political gridlock.

Possibly by design, as the political parties and news media find it in their interest to antagonize groups against one another.
