Sorry, I must have been ill when it was decided that "record low" was synonymous to "not too high". Also when "taxes" in general and "corporate taxes" were made the same thing.

Taxes being too high should depend on whether there is any absurd amounts of spending by the government, and whether the government could function properly without that money. In the case of the US, I'd point to three obvious areas of overspending:

1) The military.
2) The intelligence services.
3) The TSA.

I honestly don't think it would be impossible for a government to work off a budget equal to 10% of the taxable income of the country.

taxes revenue is at record lows
