but, hey, let's not bust the narrative that the USA's taxation rate is so much lower than ours--
...(it is not, usually just a couple percent difference, but ours comes with medical, so, is it really "more"?)
I was shocked to learn that maximum capital gains tax in the US is *higher* than Canada. US federal LT cap gains is 20% + 13% in high-tax states like CA = effective 33% marginal.
Canada with 50% inclusion rate (50% of gain taxable as ordinary income) on 33% federal + 21% province = 27% marginal
