I just linked to the doc I saw the stats referenced from...I didn't read the entire thing.
It's perfectly fair to ask how tax revenue is being used. I think we'd all agree that if Congress was more careful with our money they'd need less of it.
But the point of it all is that the US doesn't seem to be that out of line when it comes to corporate taxes when compared to our peers.
