Scotland also pays more taxes. 20% for middle income, 40%+ for higher income (£46k+) If you make approximately the same (40k) in the US it’s 10% to 10k then 22% to 40k. However - the us tax rate doesn’t go up again until 95k, and then it’s only 24% for income above that, (more brackets follow, but…) and never even makes it above 37% earning above a half million a year.

Americans pay way less in income tax overall.
