I could care less whether the NRST is your or someone else's favorite. I care that there are those who think we're living in tax paradise with the system that we've got right now.

Mexico is more of a tax paradise than the US, how is that working out? Even conservative economists suggest their tax collections are too low.

It really is annoying, but countries with high taxes also seem to be the countries with a higher standard of living. As taxes go, we are at the low end for the first world nations.

Certainly there is room for improvement, but the US is hardly the tax h*ll some think it is.

Individual Japanese taxes are low and they have a high standard of living.
