Translation: We want to create a world wide tax starting with a nice teaser rate.
Then the world will belong to us and we can tax companies wherever they are.

Quick. Someone crate a website where we can vent our frustrations by slappying the glue out of Joe and Obozo. Hillary had a great one. I practically wore it out.

If I hear this lie one more time, I think blood is going to shoot out of my eyes.
Once again: when government allows any person or any company keep a greater percentage of what they have already earned it is not a "subsidy", and it does not have to be "paid for" by ANYONE, you plug-headed socialist moron! IT IS NOT YOUR FREAKIN' MONEY.
Instead, why don't we have a global minimum tax on thieving politicians?

One heart beat away from the Presidency. Staggering.

The staggering thing is that he would be an upgrade.

Biden is a very confused man. And, by the applause, it seems that many Americans are very confused as well.
First, it is insane to characterize the imposition of any tax, even a 1% tax, as “providing a larger subsidy for investing abroad than investing at home”. Taxes are forced exactions from private interests by governments. Subsidies are government grants of money or other resources to private interests.
Second, his idea of “creat[ing] global minimum tax” is pure demagoguery. White House National Economic Council direct Gene Sperling first mentioned “global minimum tax” last month, but has not elaborated much on what it means. Does it reflect an extension of the Obama Administration’s imperial hubris, or merely a massive tax hike on American companies that do business abroad? Either way, it’s stupid appeal to the economically ignorant.
Third, the whole idea of taxing “manufacturing” earnings at a rate 20% than other earnings and taxing “high-tech manufacturing” at a rate 20% below that is utter incompatible with the idea of equality before the law. I know that this is really an archaic idea, but some folks still think it has merit.

The president is a high tech manufacturer? Of lost golf balls?

“One heart beat away from the Presidency. Staggering.”
And yet, he wouldn’t have dared say this unless it was “blessed”.

They don’t want people and companies to be able to vote with their feet - no place to run.

Good luck squeezing tax monies out of Cuba and North Korea....

That was the rational for the Global Warming hoax....get the carbon tax going and it would be wonderful for Global Organizations....Give Politicans a chance at an even Higher Office....
In Australia the leftists politician's got the carbon Tax implemented ....but the voters are throwing them out....
See this FR thread:
There go those gravy trains in Queensland & Victoria ( Carbon Tax Rejected)
