Should Canada become the 51st US state ?

While left-leaning Canadians are balking at the idea of a Trump take-over, some say they'd jump at the chance to have the Donald in charge.

The US president-elect this week made his strongest bid yet to take over Canada, offering its people a 60 percent tax cut if they agree to join the US and become the 51st US state.

Not sure I've seen a single mentally sane Canadian say they would like to be apart of the USA.

And they would be taxed more... as while yes, they would be taxed less on the national level, Canada level government would still be taxing at their high rate.

@sstronaut I don't mind paying taxes. Us Canadians actually give a shit about our fellow countrymen and want a fair society.

@JimboSaturn And would you like to be part of the USA?

If yes, then I could be wrong.
If no, then you are proving my point.

I'm just pointing out that if Canada were to join the US, their taxes would be even higher. National taxes would be down, but their other taxes would more than make up the difference.

@sstronaut Absolutely not!
