these are the calculations for 4 salaries in botht the canadian system and the americain system. no deductions or anything, just straight tax bracket rates. if by "the richest of the rich" you mean those making over 50k per year, then I agree.

I see that and its a bit confusing cause nothin lines up, but the first number in a row represents salary and the last represents federal tax owed. feel free to check the numbers.
