Does it have anything to do with being less taxed? Or is it that some people/companies are paying no taxes at all?
Seems to me when you have 300 million people that depend on a variety of government services, than all 300 million of them should pay taxes in some form. Whether it is a consumption tax, personal taxes, sin tax, or a corporate tax.
I still think they could have a very low tax rate but still run a balanced budget. A country that rich shouldn't have any problem finding a trillion dollars in additional revenue/savings PER YEAR without raising taxes like crazy.
