The OECD on the wrong track again
The Paris-based organization seeks global surveillance and control over taxpayers.
Beside Orwellian objectives, the OECD betrays a deep mistrust toward taxpayers, including corporations. This might very well reflect the confiscatory character of some high-tax governments that would be better off cutting their taxes instead of harming investment, growth, and job creation.
The Swiss government took part in the meeting as an observer, opting out years ago from the OECD's one-sided and wrong-headed approach to tax competition and refusing to join in what it sees as a highly hypocritical process.
It would seem to be high time that competitive countries put pressure on their governments to join Switzerland or, better, to simply stop funding the OECD's harmful work.
