You picked one of the most unequal, lowest Gini countries ; one known for tax havens at the cost of quality of life for its people. In the EU we have Ireland, which many will tell you isn’t being run well. I don’t want to disagree with you for no purpose: I agree countries need to keep their spending in check. I live in a country that is far too generous on the wealthy (no substantial capital gains tax, corporations get lots of tax breaks). Are we competitive? No. In fact, a decent portion of graduates prefer moving to neighboring countries that offer better quality of life. Governments don’t exist to serve corporations. They are elected for and by the people. If all countries on Earth had the same corporate tax, this discussion would be very different.
