The United States already has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the entire world. We also spend more on education per capita than almost any other country. The problem isn't necessarily lack of money. The problem is that our conceptual model of the economy isn't correct anymore. The idea that low skill work will yield a middle class lifestyle is fundamentally not valid anymore; globalization put an end to that model. We have yet to reconcile this fact at a national level or figure out how to deal with it.
