U. S. falling behind in reduction of Corp. Tax rate 18 April, 2007
Posted by stoptaxing in Economic Policy, federal.trackback
Poland is out striping the former Germany in economic growth. Ireland is finally becoming the emerald city–or should I say the silicon city of Europe. France and Spain are in the doldrums. Why are these countries emerging? Could tax policy have something to do with it? Germany lost its case against Poland and Ireland for “tax dumping”. Apparently even in the socialist delusions of the EU, they could not swallow this crazy notion that a country having pro-growth policies is unfair to the high tax countries.
What is the tax policy that is giving such shock waves? Poland and Ireland virtually eliminated their corporate income tax and have a low vat or national sales tax. This is forcing down the corporate tax rate in Europe to under 30% compared to 40% in the U. S.
This is yet another call for bold tax reform like the Fair Tax. We need to kill the burden that our complex tax code places on business. The compliance cost is estimated to be in the hundreds of billions. We will never have the economic security we desire if we create such a disadvantage for our entrepreneurs. We can not build a sound economy based upon the economics of envy and the politics of plunder.
