text: So basically you are recommending that we copy a corporate tax policy more akin to that of the U.S.?
  
  The corporate tax rate in the U.S. is, on average, about 39.5%.  However they have a very large number of credits, grants and special exemptions for "job creators", and as a result they gather less corporate tax revenue (relative to GDP) than Canada or many other developed countries with far lower corporate tax rates.
  
  This is in direct contrast to the approach taken by the likes of Sweden, Finland, Denmark, etc.
