The rate, such as it is, has almost noting to do with what's paid. We need higher taxes on corporations worldwide, but that requires a degree of cooperation between states. Even 30% is unachievable. We also need international standards to eliminate the dodges that allow evasion to the point of zeroing taxation entirely. Let Luxembourg, the Caymans and Panama actually produce things for the windfalls they make hosting corporate charters, or repatriate the taxes to their source.
By the standards of corporate profits declared, Ireland is one of the richest countries on earth -- except its not.

There's being pragmatic and there's actively working against your stated policy goals. The Democrats do the latter, acting as the velvet glove for Capital's mailed fist.
