Now, I'll agree we have some higher personal income/corporate tax rates. But that's deceptive, as it doesn't take into accounts deductions, deferrals, etc. Plus, that's largely offset by much, much higher VAT or sales taxes in other countries. 

Why we include any American who pays zero federal tax into the average? It makes no sense, I am talking about the average of Americans who actually pay all of the taxes.
