This may be of greater interest to Americans ...

... but the OECD's anti-tax competition agenda concerns us all. It's just that we have various levels of government, starting with the EU and going all the way down to our own political establishment who are all anti-tax competition.

The Coalition for Tax Competition has addressed a letter to US Senators and Representatives, calling on them to stop spending American taxpayers' money on this rather unhelpful organization.

Even if we had a balanced budget, OECD funding would be contrary to US interests. The Parisbased bureaucracy increasingly promotes a left-wing economic agenda, despite the fact that US taxpayers contribute nearly one fourth of their annual budget. We have long been disturbed that the OECD has a “harmful tax competition” project that seeks to hinder the flow of jobs and capital to low-tax nations. And since the United States is the world’s biggest beneficiary of international capital flows and tax competition, it is the height of folly for the American taxpayer to subsidize this effort

Quite so.
