When America built it's wealth (until 1909) the corporate tax rate was 0% [1]. Since soon after, the country has been cruising on thus accumulated wealth, while doing various experiments, redistributing that wealth to non-productives and now increasingly to outright parasites. Not much longer is left until the dollar collapses however.
