Explain this to me...
Last night, I heard several times that the US had the second-highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world? If that is true, how do the other countries. like Germany, France, the Scandinavian countries, provide health insurance with lower corporate tax rates? I know the people pay higher individual taxes than we do in this country but they get so much, much, much more for their tax dollars. What do you get for your tax dollars?
