About sponsoring, we are not thinking on the same base. 35% of tax is normal, that what happens in modern countries, in Europe, USA, Japan. I can't think about a decent country without petrol that don't have at least such a level of tax. 

Hong Kong and Singapore have no natural resources, populations similar to Nordic countries, and flat taxes of 17% and 20% respectively. They are city-states of course, but that creates unique problems in itself.  

Edit: Switzerland also has pretty low taxes.

Not to mention that 35% - which is higher than the vast majority of nations - is merely the FEDERAL tax.  State taxes can go as high as 12%.  Meaning there are many states with a total corporate tax of over 40%
