        Hey Trump: Name 3 Fortune 500 companies that actually paid 35% tax rate last year. They're usually below 20% and sometimes <0%.

        Your fact check is in error. Americans are taxed at more levels than just the one attached to the GDP data for nations.

        If you own a business you know you're paying closer to 70% in taxes, this reference is a farce @MotherJones
