It *seems* like the personal tax rates as a proportion of income for the UK, US, and Australia are roughly equivalent (when both federal and state taxes are considered) - and somehow the UK and AU manage to pay for free health care...tax however is a complicated thing and it's not easy to compare across countries so perhaps there is something more to the story.
