> Northern Europe would like to disagree, and to point out that Americans are far from obsessed with this. Take Mitt Romney: in 2012 he disclosed paying 15% taxes on his around $15 mill./year income. In a reasonable country he'd be paying at least 35%! The overwhelming majority of Northern European countries have a lower top marginal tax rate than that that on dividends and capital gains. So apparently Sweden, France, Germany, Finland, Norway, etc. aren't "reasonable countries"?
