摘抄一段:
In Canada, the top 5% of individual income recipients in 2004 had an income of at least $89,000. In the U.S., this figure would not have placed them even in the top 10%. The 5% threshold for the U.S. was $165,000 (using purchasing power parity values), almost twice the Canadian figure. Further up the income distribution, the U.S. and Canadian thresholds diverge considerably. The threshold for the top 0.01% in Canada is approximately $2.83 million, compared with $9.4 million in the U.S.6
