They are launching a campaign to get support for the idea, using the slogan "Tax us. Canada's worth it." "Our group considers higher taxes a small price to pay for a more civilized Canada," says Rachlis, a public health physician and associate professor at the University of Toronto. "We're becoming a more economically unequal society and we feel this is bad for our country's health." Though the campaign has been started by doctors, anyone earning over $100,000 who supports the proposal can sign the petition. "Governments don't have the resources they need to address some of the causes of ill-health and some of the social programs that people want and need. And I think that people like me who are paid reasonably well can afford to contribute a little bit more to ensure that we have a fair society," Dalla says. [/QUOTE]
