That's a fairly straightforward point: the amount of money America takes from its taxpayers may well be better as a matter of proportions and equality and distribution, but what's done with that money, and the results of how that money is used, may still be complete poo poo.

that wp article also ignores that america has a greater wealth inequality than the other countries listed, sweden has a gini coefficient of 0.27, the us is around 0.41 (higher is worse), so there's just plain more money at the top anyway it's why it's '% of tax burden', to hide that

I'm not savvy enough with the terminology used in the article to discern whether the writer was using an especially narrow definition of "income tax" to make a disingenuous point, but you could possibly be correct also.

i went and looked at the report its based on. to no one's surprise, the writer of that article was cherrypicking bits out of context to make that argument. the report says that according to their raw data and basic algorithm, the US has the highest tax progressivity coefficient. and then in the very next sentence, it discusses that this is due to flaws or skews in their algorithms, and points out specific reasons why the US in particular is badly distorting their data and leading it to misleading output. for example, it states that countries with particularly high inequality will naturally appear to have more progressive taxes, since their evaluation is based on total amount paid rather than taxation rates. it also states that after they correct for the skews caused by America's staggering levels of inequality, the most progressive tax systems are Ireland and Australia. it also notes that America's heavy reliance on tax credits in place of actual redistributive systems tends to skew their analysis because of all the weird low-income tax credits leading to particularly low taxes on the very poor, which tends to skew things in odd ways when they're trying to boil the US tax system down to a single number to put on a graph whenever you see a reporter talking about how a study shows something you wouldn't expect, your first instinct should be to assume they're lying until you've seen the study yourself
