Obama wants a world tax?

What the world government would look like? It would probably be the government which will be able (or will be going to) to gather taxes from all over the planet. Even if we consider the whole case from the other point of view, which means the global tax, there should exist some king of institution which will have a duty to gather the taxes and to discipline these countries which do not obey.

We need to ask ourselves what should we think of these ideas of creating a global tax? In many situations this would mean some efforts to make the world a little bit more just.

Maybe these are the reasons behind declarations of president Obama's economic advisor, Gene Sperling who claimed his support for a global tax. What is more, Sperling did not say this in a private interview but during oficial meeting in the White House. He later explained that the reason for his support is the fact, that there are many companies which are escaping into tax havens.

While the White House has oficially claimed that they do not support Sperlings view, the US president himself had stated something very similar soon after. As the Weekly Standard journalists had noticed, Obama had said during the meeting in Milwaukee, that there is a need for "international corporations to pay some kind of basic, minimal tax". Obama and Sperling had used different names, but we can guess that they were speaking about the same thing.

Time for the world government’s meeting

They meet one a year in a chosen place in the world, nobody knows neither what is happenning during the meetings, nor what decisions are being made. Monarchs, most influentiral politicians, businessmen and scientists. Sounds like conspiracy theory? The meetings of the Bilderberg group are regularly traced. But nobody knows what is going on behind the closed door. 

The group is being called “Bilderberg” after a hotel where was the first meeting in 1954. Since that time, despite the fact that the most influential people on this planet are meeting in one place, the information about them are whether ignored or treated as not so important. They are not surrounded by thousands of photographers. Until now, the meetings were rarely present in “respected” media. It’s hard expect extensive comments, analyzes and forecasts which take place during such meetings like Davos or G8. This year the Bilderberg group is meeting between June 9 and 12 in the Grand Hotel Kempinski in St. Moritz, Switzerland. 

If many “serious” journalists are not interested in this subject, let’s become a bit less serious and think, what decisions would be made this time?
