    I watched some of the video, at what time does he state they want to create a GMT? I missed it. It would fit the liberal democratic M O though...control by punishment instead of reward, unless you are a tax burden.

    Centaur...

    Here is a shorter video : "We want to create (what's called) a global minimum tax, because American taxpayers shouldn't be providing a larger subsidy for investing abroad than investing at home..."

    What's his response to the fact that half Americans don't pay taxes, but instead rely on others to make up their share? Guess he didn't mean minimum for everyone.

    That would be great! The UN would love to tax USA's gasoline consumption - another 25c tax per gal would make the liberals cumm in their shorts

    Seriously people? He's talking about the same global minimum tax that the has been a common theme for the Obama administration for months. Its nothing new he just was talking about it in an awkward way. He's talking about how American companies should pay the same amount of taxes whether they make their profits here or abroad. You can disagree about whether that's a good idea or a bad idea, but its certainly not a revolutionary idea.

    http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...m-tax-proposal

    "The President is proposing to eliminate tax incentives to ship jobs offshore by ensuring that all American companies pay a minimum tax on their overseas profits, preventing other countries from attracting American business through unusually low tax rates. The savings would be invested in cutting taxes here at home, especially for manufacturing," the White House said in a January fact sheet on the president's manufacturing proposals.

    National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling made waves when he similarly referred to the proposal as a "global minimum tax" in February.

    Biggest lie I've seen all week.

    Even if he does want to cut taxes for manufacturers at home (I doubt it), presumably to encourage companies to provide jobs in the USA again, it's counterproductive. The reason companies started offering so many jobs offshore is because the government set the minimum wage artificially high, and the taxes on them are too high. Obama explained this himself, "that's the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." Yes, some corporations get huge tax breaks and laws that favor them. Those are the ones that buy off our politicians, such as Obama, but not just democrats. Yes, there are still some very successful companies that could handle the minimum wage and taxes. Most can't.

    And people wonder why we can't get job growth in this country.

    Who gives a flying fat fuk.

    Breaking news.

    If you ain't among the "entitled" you will be bled like a pig. By anyone in power regardless of political affiliation. Each political ideology will have a different name or program for the blood letting and collection. Big fukkin deal. And you idiots can debate that shit forever, point your fingers like the little fukkin kids you are, bang your bony chests for your chosen cause; right, left or middle.

    Truth of the matter is you no longer matter. Nor does your political viewpoint or allegiance to whatever floats your boat. You will bleed until you and your social economic class cannot bleed any more. Stay focused on the shit that does not matter. You are playing the game just like you have been told.

    So shut the fuk up, pay your tithe and quit your fukkin bickering.

    Or get drunk and gamble, whatever floats your boat. It is going down the river anyway.

    Carry on.

    I am a government employee. My job is not replaceable and I know 90% on this board and 95% of the public wouldn't last 2 hours on my job and I live in a state struggling with one of the highest population of illegals making cash paying no taxes and I am being threatened with paycuts.



    Then I see welfare bullshit like this.
