The guardian a few days ago compared country's tax burden and for people in the lower tax band people in the USA paid more tax that the UK :-)

This one? https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/may/27/tax-britons-pa...

The one which has "US Tax rate 20.3%" and "UK Tax rate 18.9%"?

Even if we did pay more tax, how are you accounting for healthcare and other benefits? US state taxes? UK council tax, and the situations where you can have "negative income tax" in the UK (WFTC)?

And, as discussed, you're free of worries about whether or not you'll get healthcare in the UK. (You may experience a delay for non-urgent conditions, I'll give you that)

That's the same way round as I said, 18.9% in the UK is lower than 20.3% in the US.
