PAWLENTY: We have the highest corporate tax rate, or one of them, in the world...

From John Cole's Balloon Juice:

The 2010 proposed rate of 39.60% = socialism.
The 2002-2008 rates of 35.00% = capitalist nirvana.
The 39.6% rate of the 1990’s = socialism.
Everything else = down the memory hole.

From Washington Monthly:

Obama is proposing a top rate lower than Reagan's first term, lower than Nixon's, lower than Eisenhower's, and lower than FDR's when he pulled us out of the Great Depression.

E-mail this to a Republican and headline it: "Turn off the damn radio and read something for a change."
