Why Obama Wants To Cut Corporate Taxes
By Steve Chapman

America doesn’t feel much like the champion of the world these days. Everywhere we look, we see other countries outdoing us -- in economic growth, educational performance and men’s soccer. But this year, we are expected to gain an impressive distinction: the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world.

I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t make me feel like chanting “USA! USA!” If high corporate taxes are a good policy, why are we the only ones embracing them?

This achievement, of course, may sound like just what you’d expect when you put a Democrat in the White House. Actually, the rate is the same now as it was under President George W. Bush. The reason we’re about to ascend to the top rung is that Japan, which currently has a stiffer levy, has decided a reduction is in order.

During his speech Monday to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, President Barack Obama couldn’t suppress his chronic urge to lecture business people on their obligations, such as hiring more Americans and investing more.
