Hey, the US Doesn't Actually Tax That Much

This chart, from ThinkProgress via Kevin Drum, shows how the US corporate tax rate isn't actually choking off growth in our fair country.  Drum's headline asks corporations to "stop whining".  Sounds good to me.

One thing that strikes me about the whole taxes debate here is how conservatives keep going on about the "increasing" burden on them, while the tax burden has been steadily decreasing over recent years.  Liberals and neutral news people need to challenge that narrative.  We should be reporting the trends as they actually are.
