Corporations, taxes and you.
The US has the 5th highest personal income tax rate in the world.

We're even higher than countries with national health care: Canada #6 and The UK is #11

But when it comes to corporate income tax, can you guess where's the US in comparison to the rest of the world?

If you've said #20, you win!

The US is much lower than the weighted average.



It's time for the corporations to pony up.

The "excuse" that their taxes are "too high" is just a load of BS.

2. "Hand it over!.. all of it!!"
The corporations are not yet done ripping off America, and when they finish, the economy will implode.

They will likely get every last cent of social security and spend it (and stash some away in foreign bank accounts) before Americans know what has happened.
