Mary Turner: Conservatives mindlessly claim that America has the highest taxes in the world. And they'd be right...as long we didn't count Denmark, Belgium, France, Finland, Austria, Sweden, Italy, Hungary, Norway, Netherlands, Iceland, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Greece, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Estonia, Czech Republic, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Slovak Republic, Canada, Israel, Turkey, Latvia and Switzerland...all of which have higher taxes that the United States. 

So if we exclude those 27 countries and the world included just the United States, Korea, Ireland, Chile and Mexico, then yea, America would have the highest taxes in the world.

America has the highest taxes in the world is another in the long list of conservative zombie lies that just won't die. In reality, America has close to lowest.
