That's my biggest issue. Clearly US corporations are not paying the money they supposedly are, but what is the percentage all those other countries are paying for real.

It's easy to say that US corporations are paying less than the statutory rate, but since the statutory rate of other countries is so much lower how much are both paying in comparison?
