You have access to the same internet the rest of us do. I'm happy to find some resources, like a wiki page with relevant links, but obviously there's a limit to how much research you can expect strangers to do for you. I will try to help though: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=effective+tax+rate+by+country http://lmgtfy.com/?q=effective+tax+rate+by+country The first link brings up this report (which shows the US effective tax rate towards the top): http://businessroundtable.org/uploads/studies-reports/downloads/Effective_Tax_Rate_Study.pdf http://businessroundtable.org/uploads/studies-reports/downlo... Is that the kind of info you're looking for? If not, maybe you could share the citations that you've dug up and enlighten the rest of us?
