GHAH.  Conceptually that's really
    CalculateCanadianTaxes: farTooManyInputs -> farTooManyOutputs
Single, vastly complex input; single, vastly complex output.  I'm 
serious; I can't see how anyone can think of the results of a tax 
computation as anything other than one big record type.

Much nicer is the Ohio state tax form from around 1975:
   OhioTax = federalTax * factorLessThanOne
But that's a whole other issue.
