Maybe if you average in over half the U.S. population that doesn't pay taxes and others who collect entitlements instead would you come up with the 27th highest ranking. Many do not count Obamacare as a tax but the supreme court ruled that it is indeed a tax putting the U.S. well over the top.

[meteorite-list] Warning on eBay buyers

Meteorite sellers, I give you warnings about eBay buyers: Chris Zehm, eBay name: chrizeh-5, with 0 feedback. He won one of my auctions and then said that he "would like to hereby resign my purchase . The bid was not associated with this product . Ich noticed this today." I blocked him until

Re: [meteorite-list] Another warning re sales to Italy

We are the 27th highest. That doesn't take into account deductions, which actually bring our rates far lower. Most companies pay little or no income taxes in the end. Michael Farmer > On Jul 24, 2016, at 9:03 AM, Raremeteorites via Meteorite-list >

Re: [meteorite-list] Another warning re sales to Italy

I have had some overseas buyers ask me to lower the value on the customs declaration form. Some even threatened not to accept the package if I reported the correct amount. I always tell them that I pay more than my fair share of U.S. taxes so why should I assist them on cheating on theirs
