New data from OECD shows that in 2017 the net tax rate on a family with two kids in Canada is 12 times cheaper than a family in the United States.

In Canada, an average married worker with two children had their employee net average tax rate reduced to 1.2 per cent. The same family in the U.S. would pay 14.2 per cent in taxes.
