All three have instigated the flat tax and have lowered their corporate taxes so far that Western Europe has considered penalties for "unfair competition."
It's time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. Those leaders of the Western World would do well to put a lid on their rants, open their eyes, and watch how it's done by our humble Eastern neighbors.
