> You'll see this often in the social democracies of Scandinavia, like Sweden or Denmark. These are countries with strong welfare states, and yet, the corporate tax rates are often lower than the U.S., even if you look at the most red states.

This is only true if you look at the standard tax rate. The effective tax rate of a lot of US corporations is appreciably lower.

It works in places like Scandinavia because they don't give corporations ways to lower their tax burden
