Donald Trump Lies Again That U.S. Is "Highest Taxed Nation In The World"


Repeating an oft-told lie, Donald Trump tweeted again today that the U.S. is the "highest taxed nation in the world."

This has been proven over and over to be incorrect.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning website Politifact has debunked myth this several times.

When we looked at this claim in the past, we compared the United States to the 33 other industrialized nations in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Data from 2014, the most recent year available, shows that the United States wasn’t the most highly taxed by the typical metrics and actually places near the bottom or around the middle of the pack.
