Apples to Oranges about taxes

US News tries to compare taxes between the USA and other OECD nations, and does a poor job. 

US News: Comparing tax rates without scale is impossible and bad statistics. It is hard to believe that all federal,state and local taxes come to just24%. Each of the OECD countries is smaller, they have shifted much local taxes to the federal level and making these comparisons is a statistical error.
