Gene Sperling, director of the White House's national economic council, said today at an official meeting that "we need a global minimum tax":

“He supports corporate tax reform that would reduce expenditures and loopholes, lower rates for people investing and creating jobs in the U.S., due so further for manufacturing, and that we need to, as we have the Buffett Rule and the individual tax reform, we need a global minimum tax so that people have the assurance that nobody is escaping doing their fair share as part of a race to the bottom or having our tax code actually subsidized and facilitate people moving their funds to tax havens," Sperling said.

Why are we allowing Obama to spend 800 million dollars on 'Arab Spring' when we know that is code for financing the Islamist takeover of the world. The moslems running the government are so out of touch with western civilization that they aren't aware how stupid they sound to everyone else.

We will pay for allowing our government to aid and abet the enemy.

"Why are we allowing Obama to spend 800 million dollars on 'Arab Spring'"

I don't think it has been approved or will be approved. Especially when he has proposed to GUT our Military. . .
Every one of us needs to contact our US Senators and congress person and tell them this will not fly.

This issue is a dead horse. It is discussed as are other issues in order to provide enough flak to confuse the public. Political sleight of hand seems to work on the american public so well because they are suckers.

The real goal of the supreme rulers of the universe here in the USA is to hog tie the attention span of the electorate so that election fraud will assure 4 more years of pro-islamic hegemony coming out of WDC.

We will pay with our lives if this happens.

The islamist administration in WDC has decided that congress is irrelevant.

This type of thing happened in Britain long ago and lasted 10 years. The king shut down parliament.

All it takes for history to repeat itself is for millions of mickey mouse voters to vote for Obama. Election fraud is defacto legal in the USA since no one will do anything to stop it.

Did Christ, Obama’s Economic Czar, sign off on this one too?

Every man, woman and child in India and China (and everywhere else) should send at least $500 annually to the US Treasury Dept so that we can invest in roads and bridges, green technology, and education.

Did this confusing doublespeak really say we are in a “race to the bottom”? WTF?

Do we really want to beat Greece in getting there?

[SkyPilot]

He's right! We also need an RFID chip inserted into everyone's hand or forehead (worldwide) to track them and control all purchases!

Hillary Clinton,”We’re going to take some more of your money to pay for things we think are necessary”.
It’s my f-ing money ya thieves.
And I’m starting to not give a damn about the rest of the damned world.

[gcraig]

I agree Joe.

Gene Sperling, director of the White House's national economic council..

I know that name, Gene Sperling.
I swear he did TV ads for a Carpet Company in the Chicago area back in the 80's.

You all know the ones, they come on at 2:00am with the volume at '12'.
"HI! I'M GENE SPERLING FOR CARPET UNIVERSE...."

You jump up so fast, the odds are 50-50 that you'll have a heart attack before you can turn the TV off.
(thank God for the modern Sleep-Timers)

Hey Gene,
Tell your sniveling, weasel boss, there is no need for a Marxist Global Minimum Tax!

This has NOTHING to do with “fairness” and everything to do with destroying America’s capacity for innovation and growth.

These additional taxes would do nothing to retire the debt, as Obama’s budget is profligate in its runaway spending.

There is no plan to address our broken entitlement programs.

Every aspect of every move Obama makes, demonstrates his commitment to destroy America.

Whenever someone in the government starts a sentence with "We need...", I start getting very concerned...

[hal ogen]

Hey, Gene, you coddled liberal moron: The only thing that would be “fair” would be if you were to resign and roam the world in sackcloth, atoning for your stupidity.. You (and other liberal freaks like you) are poisoning civilization with your destructive tripe.

Can we say Value Added Tax???
