He doesn't have to. If it doesn't show the US as the highest taxed, then it is obviously wrong... The entire argument is flawed; the Left is chronically talking about how the little guys are overtaxed and the big guys are undertaxed. Now, we have this convoluted position that the United States is undertaxed. Yet, we all know that you could confiscate all the earnings of the wealty few who are undertaxed, and still not cover our expenditures. And we're undertaxed. The argument is contradictory (illogical) on its face. Stop with your backtracking, leftie accusations and your long winded explanations. Provide a link validating this statement and the numbers that follow it: "Assuming, arguendo, that you do want to make the argument based on individual tax rates, try these": siliconinvestor.com We're waiting on you!

"And we're undertaxed." Never said that. Just that the US has a lower tax burden per person than many of the other industrialized countries. Now the US also has a lower level of social services offered also. The two are probably related...
