I heard the information in my last post at an economic forum just last week. I found the following information in a Tony Blankenship blog on Townhall.com.


Currently, the United States has the second-highest corporate tax rate of all industrial societies, after economically anemic Japan. The U.S. federal rate of taxation is 35 percent, and when the average state and local corporate tax rates are added, American corporations pay, on average, a 39.27 percent tax on their incomes. China is at 25 percent; Mexico is at 28 percent; socialist Sweden is at 28 percent; and prosperous Ireland is at a mere 12.5 percent.

Gee, what would our economy look like if money were "freed up' and corporations were allowed to buy more inventory, expand and hire new employees, create new products!
