Treaties aren't in the same level as the Constitution - they are on the same level as laws. You couldn't ratify a treaty that eliminated freedom of religion, for example.

Not at all sure you can evade the explicit constitutional requirement for revenue raising via treaty.

How about ripping FDR’s domestic legacy of high handed lawlessness out by the roots and all that is built on it, nixing the taxation to pay for it too?

The great pity is that those who cheered as FDR and company kicked the Constitution to the curb didn’t live to face either the ruin his lawlessness is bringing on the nation.

Eisenhower could have saved us for almost no cost.

Corporations don’t pay taxes. Consumers do, in higher prices for what the corporations produce.

Of course both of you are correct.

However, you know, you know, and I know, that this is just the opening shot. The world governing bodies are simply salivating at taxing people worldwide.

If it isn’t a corporate tax, it will be and environmental tax, a human rights tax, a redistribution of wealth tax, you name it.

We think the ghouls in Washington grow fat feasting on the remains of American prosperity...just think of what it will be like in Brussels or China when those groups over there get to feast on the remains of any world wide prosperity.

Republicans inverted the treaty clause of the constitution so Obama could enter into the “deal” with Iran. Instead of 2/3rds to agree, the rule was changed to 2/3rds to oppose.

That and many other shenanigans put me of a mind that the institution is fundamentally dishonest. I have no moral duty (other than the 4th commandment) to respect such crooks and thugs.

That article explains Republican fears but doesn’t specify how one can get around passing a treaty to uphold the 15% minimum global tax. I’ve seen Yellen talk to news programs about the need for Congress to pass the global tax but no one (as far as I know) asked Yellen how to do this without a treaty.

Now how in hell could this be constitutional? Biden has absolutely no power to institute a tax.

Biden can’t do that unless 2/3 of the Senate ratifies it.

Fear. Of course they FEAR because that means they would have to step up from their usual positions as total cowards.

Who would control the global tax?

What would it be spent on?
