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.

331 The Quotable Barack Obama

On Tuesday, President Barack Obama, reeling from growing public opposition to his proposed healthcare reform, took to the stage for a town hall meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

333 What’s in the Health Care Bill?

According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the myriad of new taxes scattered throughout the 1,000-plus-page House health care bill will do little to lessen our $9 trillion national debt. In fact, the CBO projects that H.R. 3200, which will cost taxpayers well over $1 trillion, is set to increase the national debt by $239 billion over the next…

334 Fishy Is As Fishy Does, Mr. President

Citizen Alert! President Obama needs your help, and we want to help you help him. Although we do not usually involve ourselves in causes that may require stooling on neighbors and relatives, this is a special White House request, and we are thus sure that all civil liberty and privacy concerns have been adequately vetted by Justice Department counsel…

337 Government-Run Health Care Plan Worse Than Anyone Imagined

Democrats in the House of the Representatives this week introduced their long-anticipated plan to reform the nation’s health care system. Simply put, it is worse than anyone could have imagined.

338 ObamaCare 101: How President Obama's Healthcare Reforms Will Impact Patients and Doctors

As the White House and Congress intensify their efforts to revamp the nation’s healthcare system, the American people seem to have more questions than answers. How will “reform” impact access to care and physicians? How will “reform” be paid for? Others are questioning why we are rushing into a government-run healthcare…

339 Beware New York Times Polls, “46 Million Uninsured” and Other ObamaCare Hoaxes

If Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is such a good idea, why must its proponents resort to deception when advocating it?  When something can stand on its own merits, there is obviously no need to prevaricate.  And the fact that efforts to socialize America’s health care sector cannot stand on their own logical merits betrays…

340 Government-Run Health Care: The Wrong Prescription for America

In a plea to political supporters to pressure lawmakers to act with urgency on his plan to socialize America’s health care system, President Obama recently said that if Congress doesn't deliver legislation by the end of the year, the opportunity will be lost.

342 Doctors: How Many Presidential Colonoscopies Can You Take?

Jim Geraghty of National Review Online initiated and has virtually patented the phrase, “All statements from Barack Obama come with an expiration date,” documenting same with accelerating frequency.
