The corporate tax rate is the highest in the chart. The individual tax rate excludes state rates (which some of the other countries don't have and which can be over 10% in the US, Swtizerland's figure in your chart has to include them since its federal rate is much lower than the US's, but it doesn't include state tax in the US or our figure could be as much as 10 percentage points higher), is still higher than several other wealth countries, and close to others, so your -"They pay much less than the wealthy in other nations" comment is false. Okay, let's trade. Lower the corp. rate and raise the tax on the rich to a reasonable level. How much you want to bet we see a big jump in revenue?
