Actually, its more then 2x as much. That's not a small difference. My mom just called some friends in Canada. Their tax is 15 percent. Ours is 6.5ish here.
Also, I still don't understand what the point of this whore "Support kerry" shit is. There are few people that I can think of that can vote, and even less who will have their opinions changed by someone over a gaming forum.
