The funny thing is, you probably are not paying that much more in taxes [0]:

"The OECD analyzes the tax burdens of 35 countries, including the United States and Canada. According to its data, in terms of total tax revenue as a percentage of GDP, in 2010, the U.S. collected a slightly lower than average amount of taxes from its citizens ($11,365 USD per capita). Canada collected a slightly higher than average amount ($14,693 USD)."

This is taxes per GDP, but marginal taxes are not that different either.
