For people who are skeptical this sort of transparency could ever work, consider that in Norway (also Finland and to a lesser extent Sweden) tax returns are completely open to the public:

So you can quickly look up what somebody's income and net worth are and the public at large are in favor of it.

I don't know how is in those countries here in Canada taxes are a combination of several factors, and you can be in the same salary range that somebody else and still be paying a significant different amount.

Income, tax, and net worth are all public in Norway, so that issue doesn't exist.

The public at large? The country only has 5 million citizens and a GDP of 250 billion dollars. Scale it by 60 and I would be interested how it works out, because that would be the size of the U.S.
