I'm in the IWW, which is not a big business by any means, and it's about the only union that supports the service industry, minimum wage earners, and those who earn below minimum wage.

Regarding low taxes, I don't care for them unless they can get me a good standard of living in a country with low crime and a healthy infrastructure - none of which are the case in the US. I've lived in a couple of European countries before I came to the US, and I would prefer to pay European levels of taxation if it would give me half of the benefits that Europeans get for what they pay. People in the US don't have the same idea of what taxes should accomplish, which I think is unfortunate, especially since it effectively limits their freedoms.

As for me being Canadian, no. I live in Maryland but I'm from England. I try not to let living in the US corrupt my spelling.
