Costa Rica just ratified DR-CAFTA in a referendum on the trade agreement. The Central American trade pact, while not a Treaty under U.S law because of our “pesky” Constitution, it is classified as such under International Law. From Wikipedia:

Former Communist Republics now seem to enjoy lower marginal tax rates than America. Bulgaria appears to be the latest with a proposed 10.00% flat tax on both corporate and personal income.
