In no other major industrial nation are taxes that tend to discourage the incentive to produce so high and those that tend to discourage personal spending so low. Between federal and local levies, First National City's economists figure, the U.S. raises 78% of its revenues by means of taxes on income and capital, and only 22% through sales taxes and other taxes on spending. By contrast, Japan draws 33% of its revenue from sales taxes, Britain...
