Image of the Day: U.S. Corporate Tax Rate Remains Too High

As 2025 approaches, a critical debate over extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts that finally ended America's inglorious status as the developed world's highest corporate tax rate looms.  Important in that debate is something that many people may find surprising:  America's corporate tax rate remains too high.  As our friends at the Tax Foundation highlight, at 25.8%, it stands above the worldwide average of 23.51%.  Something to keep in mind when opponents of tax reform and greater global competitiveness attempt to mischaracterize our current rate as somehow too low.

A New York City man is suing Apple in an attempt to keep an Apple store out of his tony neighborhood.

Herbert Feinberg, 88, opposes the new Apple Store due to open soon on the corner of his block on the Upper East Side. In an attempt to stop the store from opening, Feinberg has sued, claiming the store will attract shoppers who are "incompatible" with the "community interests" of the city's neighborhood. According to news reports, Feinberg would like the store to be occupied by "small and luxury retailers" or "well-known art galleries that draw visitors consistent with the unique neighborhood culture."

Apple declined to comment on legal matters.
