I'm not saying I like taxes, I'm not saying all taxes are necessary, I'm not saying we should tax more, and I'm not saying we shouldn't tax less. All I'm saying is hysteria over US taxes is blown way out of proportion. And we're ready to let some things stagnate and fail over it. Craziness. Side: Yes
Hello G: If we measured the tax code from left to right as it sits on the shelf, it would be about 4 feet wide. The first couple inches delineates the tax rates.. The last 3 feet, 10 inches, are the deductions and credits we take so that we NEVER actually pay those rates.. So, if you just looked at the first couple pages, yes we DO have terribly high tax rates.. But, if you look at the entire tax code, our taxes are quite reasonable. excon Side: Yes
This is often something the left and the right can agree on when the rhetoric is cooled. We could cut out the loopholes, lower the official tax rate, and still end up with a higher effective tax rate. This would make business life more predictable and save corporate money currently spent on paying paper pushers to find loopholes. Side: Yes
It is a typical USAian thing: a President tells blatant lies and faces no real challenge. Why? Because anyone that challenges him is from the opposing team so can be ignored as serving a political agenda. Those that challenge the president and are actually listened to are either told that they just have "alternative facts" or that "look! the other party lies worse than we do!". It is scary that you all wave flags for people like this. Just boycott it! You don't have to pick a side! Think for yourselves. Side: Yes

In 2014 the United States had the third highest general top marginal corporate income tax rate in the world at 39.1 percent (consisting of the 35% federal rate plus a combined state rate), exceeded only by Chad and the United Arab Emirates. You are just another Leftist that is ill informed about the reality of truth ! Side: No
In 2014 the United States had the third highest general top marginal corporate income tax rate in the world at 39.1 percent (consisting of the 35% federal rate plus a combined state rate), exceeded only by Chad and the United Arab Emirates. Roosevelt tried to pass a bill which taxed the top income bracket 100 percent, and got it through at 94 percent. Since Roosevelt, the rich have systematically lobbied, bribed and threatened to get it down to the 39.1 percent figure you just quoted. As per usual you only tell half the story and simply chop out all the inconvenient parts. Side: Yes
