For example the income tax figure I believe it's the highest bracket.  I live in US and I don't think I will ever make enough to qualify for the 42.4% bracket.  In fact, average tax rate is much lower ( I believe it's somewhere in the mid 20%).  My Canada friend told me that they pay more tax then we do.
