I think I know where that jab is directed. In that case it was a problem with looking at percentage charged by the government whereas a better means of comparing oneselves with another jurisdication is actual economic return for industry per dollar invested. That part got missed and you can tell which places are uncompetitive based on where global companies are making a larger portion of their cutbacks.
