"Yet, with all this considered, the average Briton will pay approximately one third of their income to taxes whilst also suffering salaries of approximately half of our American cousins."

Oh, and a couple of notes here.

I lived in the US for over thirty years. Never once did I pay as LITTLE as one third of my income in taxes - it was always more. Remember, they have Federal, State and usually city taxes there...

And UK salaries aren't anything like "half" US salaries.

Those are the only actual verifiable claims in your article.
