Before you suggest people don't know X about Y, maybe you should look into it more yourself. A declining USD, which hasn't been in decline for 30 years, it's been fluctuating up and down, it's been going down MORE lately than it has up in the past, is an indication of how weakening your economy is comparing currency from one nation to another.
I live in Canada, and our tax rates aren't 50%. You're a complete MORON if you think that's how it is. If you make less than 26K a year, and for some reason you think it's 20K, even more moronic is you think the income tax is 50%, they don't touch your income. You get it all back. The tax rate is actually about 30% for the average worker, and it's slightly higher as you make more money, but not by much.
I may not know a lot about economics, or a lot of things for that matter, but I do know stupid people. You sir, are stupid.

As I said, if you read my entire post before. Which you did not, I was wrong about Canada. But certainly not about taxes in Europe. Where did I ever say I thought making 26k was making 20k in Canada?
And the US dollar is in a long term down trend, has been for a while if you look at a graph. http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_03/milhouse021603.html
You'll see even in the 1990s when we had one of the most explosive periods of growth in US history the dollar was still in decline???
Anyway, your sales tax is still much higher than US sales tax, that's a fact. And why do you want the US to fall down? The majority of Canadas exports are here, if the US fails you think Canada is just gonna keep pluggin along??
