This tax the "wealthy" debate is a joke, at least in this county. We have the "wealthy" cheating on their taxes with small corporations . Small corporations and wealthy should not be used in the same sentence, its an oxymoron. The wealthy own big corporations. 

The average income of the Canadian 1% is nowhere near that of the US. On the OECD GINI index  Canada is much closer to the Sweden, France and Germany than the US. 

But Canadian rich are stashing their billions offshore in tax havens the leftist say. Not according this this study.
