Europe also has huge VAT taxes, sales tax double to ours on everything. yes they give foreigners refunds when they leave to encourage local tourism and investment but I'm talking about our tax versus theirs. The US is the lowest taxed developed nation in the world already, with twice the military expenses per capita of almost anyone. No free lunches my friend. And croporations have plenty of loop-holes to get out of paying taxes. Pepsi paid zero last year for instance. And they LOST money. Yeah right.
