Let’s start with cutting wasteful, nonsensical foreign aid, which will result in plenty of money to feed hungry children in the USA. Enough is enough.

Oh but the latest is Biden wants us to pay a global tax to support other countries. Nothing new but being brought up again. We seem to pay for the rest of the world but not ourselves.

No--this is the exact opposite of what the global minimum tax would do. Today US multinationals use accounting tricks to shift profits to places such as Ireland where there is a lower tax rate. In these cases Ireland is pulling tax dollars from us. A minimum tax and other changes such as Biden is proposing would pull international tax dollars back into the US.

Bristol Myers is a great example of the types abuses Biden is trying to stop: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/01/b...taxes-irs.html

1. This has nothing to do with OP topic
2. Getting right on the edge of political here--one foot already off the curb.

To paraphrase my own favorite response:

"Sometimes, POLITICS finds you!"
