Visual of the day - Taxes; Obesity

The above image shows that US is one of the least taxed countries in the world, if we look at tax revenue as percentage of the total economy. Granted, these are 2005 stats. Some things have changed. (From thinkorthwim; full 4 page report here).
On an unrelated note, but possibly useful for our Tuesday discussion - this image relates recent OECD statistics about eating time in various nations to obesity in various nations. Interesting, isn't it? This comes from Econmix.
