Most taxes come from elsewhere, such as personal income tax, where we have very low top tax rates compared to both US history, and to other developed countries.

Regardless whether most taxes come from personal income or not, a 40% corporate Tax Rate is not exactly a "Right-leaning" business environment. I'd hate to wonder what a left-wing environment would be, especially considering the regulations and hoops businesses already have to go through. And people wonder why they do business in China. Last time I checked, tarriffs and protectionism was more regarded as right wing than left. Trump was the one advocating a 25% increase on Chinese goods, how many Democrats have said such? Factor in the power of Unions and how much of a struggle the right has against them, and it's hard to call the US economic sector anything but leaning left.
Now also, the top 500 companies who get the most government friendliness (aka kickbacks and extremely questionable billions of tax refunds that are worth more than their actual earnings) just happen to be ones like GE that have numerous Democrat friends. |

Current left-leaning countries typically have low corporate tax rates and higher personal income tax rates, and sometimes substantial excise taxes.

I believe the actual corporate tax (or the average anyway) is 25%.

You would think that we should be focused on obtaining more revenue than raising taxes.
Perhaps we should put people back to work and eliminate tax loopholes instead of raising taxes. The big issue here is people believe the government can create substainable jobs. If you get right down to the meat of the subject, some folks are engaging in class warfare and cannot stomach the rich getting any richer even though they would increase revenue and put folks back to work. Government regulation is the real job killer. It is time we faced the hard facts that somewhere in the world, people are going to polute our planet and be gainfully employed. Living in a fantasy world where green jobs are the answer and utilities are too expensive for anyone to be able to pay is the problem. We are borrowing money from China to pay for oil from countries who hate us. How stupid is that?

Flat or regressive tax structures, unwillingness to fund education or health care, are problems. In the past, when an imbalance becomes too large, it ends up crashing or swinging way too hard in the other direction. Quote:

Oil is limited, and it pollutes when it is drilled for, transported, and used.

If you want to promote peace, end War, use force as a LAST resort, not FIRST. Ron Paul is the only peace candidate.
If you want to get rid of incentives for corruption, you have to understand how central banks work and how easy it is to put that cookie jar in front of a small group of people. Ron Paul is the only candidate that understands Central banks, so much, that copycats have adopted parts of his position for the sake of gaining votes. If you want to understand regulation and how to hurts jobs, then you have to understand that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have no regulation. No regulation is a complete fallacy. If anything, the artificial regulations create an umbrella to protect big companies and not help the consumers protect themselves. Ron Paul understands the business cycle and consumer cycle. The other republicans and some democrats preach similar ideas to support the free market, but they really don't know what the hell a business cycle is or a consumer cycle, it's just a talking point for elections. Candidates like this come every 6 generations in America. He is not like Ronald Reagan, even though the Gipper talked a good game.
