Income taxes yes, but there are taxes like the HST, gasoline taxes, alcohol taxes that bump up the tax rate significantly.

Taxes as a percentage of GDP Canada - 33% USA - 24%

If that USA figure is just tax, and doesn't include what people have to pay for health insurance, it's not really comparable, is it?

Unfortunately many of the best jobs are in CA and other high tax states (additional income tax, sales tax, etc.) where it starts becoming much closer.

Also unclear if that link takes into account family transfers like the original link.
