What are the economic implications for the Cape Fear region?

Segment Four: John Berlau, On Taxes and Regulations The United States had the highest corporate tax rate of the industrialized world in 2012 at a percent tax rate, and Berlau explained that the U.S. government is also "one of the few countries in the world that has... as high a corporate tax on foreign earnings what our companies earn in Europe and Asia."

Is innovation one of America’s most important initial factor endowment that provides U. S. with a global competitive advantage?
