The issue isn’t tax rates, America is taxes on par with the rest of the world.
the issue is what America view the purpose of taxes are and what that money should be spent on.
The corporate tax rate in America is 21% the corporate tax rate in Norway is 22%.
the average income tax rates are similar as well.
the issue isn’t tax rates, the issue is the philosophy of spending.
It’s being thrown away lately. May as well throw it out airplanes.
That’s not all their taxes. Sigh…

the issue isn’t tax rates the issue is with what America view is important to spend their money on.
For corporate taxes (after the 2017 tax cut) yes. For individual taxes, no.

the issue isn’t taxable income the issue is the philosophy of spending.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…no. Just stop.
They have a LOT of other taxes there. A LOT. Gasoline is crazy taxed. That’s just ONE. There’s a lot of taxes way higher than here. 60% That’s about $10 a gallon.
Oh, & guess what, when the oil plays out, the taxes are going to go way up. A lot more, unless they cut back on their social programs.

Ah, but the average individual tax rate in Norway is 27.5% … and Norway has the lowest tax rate in Scandinavia.
doesn’t change the fact America could easily adapt all the social programs of Norway without increasing taxes, the issue is American don’t want those program because they don’t view those things as important.
its a philosophical difference not a tax rate issue.
did anyone complain when Biden increased the defence budget?
I don’t see anyone complaining about the 1.7 trillion being spent on updating the Nuclear weapon system that both Trump and Biden support.
What happens when the cost of health insurance is factored in?
Sure … It’s a matter of priorities. We could easily fund all those social programs if we quit maintaining a military world class, building and maintaining infrastructure, being involved in space programs, and giving tons of money to other countries, without raising taxes.

Still not worth it, & still more costly than it should be. Government is NOT all. NOT the answer. NOT efficient or does things well. Imagine what $10 a gallon gas would do to the economy?

Did you complain. Canada has a small military because canada counts on the fact that our military is large enough to save their bacon if they are attacked.
