I really enjoy the Roundtable. Interesting that you talked about radical tax reform and Davos in the same episode. You be interested to know that the tax revenue in Switzerland is 30% federal, 40% Cantona (provincial) and 30% municipal. A change to a similar system in Canada would be a game changer! Also the Swiss (universal) Healthcare system is worth looking at....but that's for another day
