Actually, that's exactly what the Laffer Curve measures.... progressive taxation. Corporate taxation isn't really a good thing to measure vs countries because deductions vary a lot and don't really measure individual taxation. (IE more businesses there = more personal receipts.)
Which is kind of the point. Like I said, look at the graph. The level of government spending doesn't really correlate with profits at all.
Things like highways are the exceptions... and very rare ones at that when it comes to government spending... and ones that get diminishing returns.
For example... look at Highways. They're already built. Most of the spending on new highways don't really bring any results at all, and aren't very useful.
