1. I wonder what their business taxes are

Ours are the most in the world. We just need to stop the deductions for businesses.

2. on paper

large companies don't pay taxes here.

4. And that's the point Forbes keeps making

We have a higher tax rate on paper but the result is that we get less revenue while the companies devote an absurd amount of their resources to tax avoidance. Maybe the lower but much simpler corporate taxes social democracies have is a better idea.

6. it is a better idea.

But the current political power of corporations would just give them lower tax rates and more deductions.

3. Nitpick: Democratic Socialism and Social Democracy are not the same thing.

Social Democrats are foolish people who think Capitalism can be made to work for the working class while Democratic Socialists want to overthrow Capitalism.

5. Sanders defined himself when he was a Democratic Socialist

as one who adhered to all of the tenets of the Democratic party but goes a step farther to include the government working for all of the people, instead of just for corporations and the very wealthy.
