High corporate tax rate? LOL! The biggest company in the world, GE, PAID NO TAXES last year. AND they took a SUBSIDY from the working taxpayer that is disappearing! No wonder the working man is wiped out, he is supporting the whole global economy with his paycheck.

You’re perpetuating the ‘free trade’ lie. A true American knows that taxes on wages were unconstitutional at the founding of our nation, until the rotten globalists corrupted our free government into arguably ‘passing’ the 16th amendment.

Don't be confused by large international corporations paying low or no tax rates. The businesses being hit the worst are the medium and small sized ones who make the most jobs for US citizens. They can't offshore their most lucrative subsidiaries (and their well paying jobs) to avoid taxes in most cases. Instead, these companies are forced to pay the 30-40% tax on profits to the Federal and State governments. That's money that won't be used to hire people and expand business.

Where you get this 'free trade lie' stuff, I don't know. So you think the US having among the highest corporate tax rates in the world is just some sort of joke? Illinois where I live jacked their corporate tax rate up by 67% this January and have lost 89,000 jobs since then with unemployment going up a full percentage point. The US in a microcosm. Bet you think that is a laff riot, too since you clearly haven't actually thought it through.
