Janet Yellen Is Now Calling for Global Minimum Corporate Tax Rate
2021-04-06
[The Hill via Red State] We wrote about the Great Reset back in November, that it was a stated goal of the World Economic Forum.

Then in February, we reported how the World Economic Forum proclaimed that ’Lockdowns Are Quietly Improving Cities Around the World’ in a pretty scary video.

Now there’s another move that’s raising some eyebrows, this time from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

You would think that the Treasury Secretary of the United States would be about wanting to protect free markets. Not so much.

Yellen is now calling for a global minimum corporate tax rate. "Together we can use a global minimum tax to make sure the global economy thrives based on a more level playing field in the taxation of multinational corporations, and spurs innovation, growth, and prosperity."

#7  Janet Yelling makes $201,000.00/year tax payer funded salary and $7 million in "speakers fees" and now wants employees to get a hair cut while the money goes to Deep State.

#5  Note she's not talking about replacing any taxes - just adding more on top of the ones corporations (and their customers) already pay.
Of course it'll start small, perhaps 0.5%, but with the UN involved it will quicky, and quietly grow.
