The numbers didn’t make sense to me so I spent a bit of time trying to fact check Oxfam’s analysis.    This chart at Statscan was where I ended:  www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/famil111a-eng.htm .  It surprised me to see that Oxfam’s claims are reasonable. 

Understanding disparity of income and demanding that top income earners pay their share of taxes is a worthwhile discussion.   I don’t see this analysis as a left-wing rant.    Capitalism, as a system, can be manipulated or distorted by laws, grants and taxes.   Oxfam is shedding some light on the subject.   I’ll continue to sponsor Oxfam.
