I need help calibrating my TV

[BenSkywalker]

So you have 26% more disposable income yet things cost 21% more?  Big whoop.

Again, using *your* link- housing is 56% to 64% more expensive- the single greatest cost is *significantly* more expensive using *your* numbers. It appears that your approach to discourse is to try and find numbers you *think* back you up, without any regard whatsoever as to educating yourself on reality. 

As for the schools, we have 1/10 the population of the USA so basically you can factor that single school by 10, so on a level playing field we would have 10 schools in the top 30.

I can play that game too

I live in New England, we have roughly 5% of the US population and 10% of the top 30- so we have 60 schools in the top 30 using Canadian math, I like this game

That's pretty damn good when you compare $5,000CAD tuition to $45,000USD to go to Harvard.

There are three colleges in the town I live in, randomly checked the largest of them, tuition is $10K. I could compare the cost of McDonalds down the street to what I paid last time I got had dinner at the Skylon and it would look pretty bleak for you too- using the kind of logic that is dominating your post perhaps I should? Sorry, can't actually do it, that level of intellectual dishonesty does nothing but drag the median down.

In the USA you have to come from a very wealthy background to get a good education.

Harvard is a name you like to throw out, do you know anything, anything at all, about the actual education system in this country? Given your shocking ignorance on your own nations' tax policies- regressive to an absurd degree outside of a pocket of working class bees that behave like good puppets for their corporate overlords, I am assuming you know close to nothing. Let's just say if you put the work in and have the ability you can go almost anywhere in the US to school that you want.

Also, Rollo said that the cost of living was higher in Canada. I proved him wrong with the link.

No, you absolutely didn't. You showed that the cost of New York City was higher then the average prices in Canada. Outside of micro nations, it is rather safe money that the cost of living in New York City is higher then *ANY* nation. Go ahead- check your links again- little blue i tells you where they base their US costs on. The second link you provided showed that the US was considerably cheaper for cost of living- you were just cheaper on some luxury elements(renting a tennis court, sure- but tough luck if you want a place to live). You tried this same crap with your claims that Canada has a more progressive tax system- in the US our rich pay more, from a little more to *WAY* more and our corporations pay more then double on the national level. Yet you try and cling to the premise that you are progressive because of your little class warfare based "the guy that makes a little more then me pays a little more"- while the corps who make billions pay a fraction of the rate.

You guys are both so caught up in your stupidity that there is no reasoning with either one of you.

Your link says you are wrong and we are correct. YOUR NUMBERS.

It is not my fault you are incapable of reading a chart meant for a child. This is not a reasoning issue. It is fucking math. Right/wrong. Your numbers, the ones you chose to quote, say you are wrong. *I* went back and found an article from when the currency exchange rate was in your nations favor as much as it has ever been- trying to see any way in which your side of the discussion may have a hint of truth to it. There was none. Nothing. 

 Ben swears and acts like an idiot to boot.

I was being civil until you started running your little ignorant bitch mouth.
