Yes, Mr. President, that's what we've been saying all along...

In his televised address across the African continent last Saturday, President Obama stated with true wisdom: No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20 percent off the top.
 
We couldn’t agree more! The U.S’s exorbitant average marginal corporate tax rate of 39.3% is exactly the reason business and investment is fleeing the U.S in droves.
 
Having recognized this problem, Mr. Obama, we’re waiting for you to call for an immediate reduction of the top corporate tax rate to 19% (while this will still be higher than many countries, it will certainly be a great start)!
 
So, Mr. Obama, now it’s over to you!

Can we please trade the Obama we have for the one that was speaking in Ghana?

Yes there are many faces of BHO, and in keeping with longstanding political tradition He's full of bull and blowing smoke. One of the boldface lies that BHO campaigned with. "I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."-BHO 9/12/08 Yet, what kind of Bills/Legislation are we getting out of Congress, The Senate, The White House? More Tax and Spend than ever before.
