United states is 26% tax to GDP. Australia is 27.8%. Switzerland is 27.8%[1]

Are those countries broken too?

The political system in the U.S. is broken from my perspective. It is not broken because tax rates are too low. That tax rates are low for the very wealthy is a symptom of the brokenness of the system. It is not the cause and I did not claim the U.S. has a broken system due to low taxation.

Yes?
