Equalize Incomes (Downward)

Albertans make too much money. BC has the fair amount.

The median Alberta family or individual takes home $85,300 after tax. In BC it's $75,800.1 That's $9,500 of inequality.

Alberta's real GDP per person is $71,940, the highest of any province. BC's is $56,554.2

There's only one fair solution: bring Alberta down to BC. Equality is equality, comrades. Nobody ever said which direction.
