This comment is factually wrong (as pointed out by other responses) and evinces sadly vile sentiments.
The US corporate tax rate had grown until 2017 to be much higher than it is in Western European countries (and remains relatively high). If you, like many anti-Republicans, think that Sweden is an interesting model -- please note that Swedish corporate taxes are much lower than in the US. [1]
As for the notion that profits, or their increase, are "obscene" -- this is the essence of the anti-capitalist mentality.
