US tax burden seen as oppressive
A new study measures the tax burden of 30 OECD countries. The results are not good for the United States, as we are ranked with the 12th most oppressive tax burden (p. 5). Italy has the most oppressive tax burden, while Switzerland has the least oppressive.
Joining us in the top 12 is Hungary, but they have apparently caught wind of how harmful an oppressive tax burden can be as they have cut taxes just this week. Here in the United States, our government is doing things to make the tax burden more oppressive.
