Reuters: U.S. Republicans vow to oppose Yellen's G7 tax deal, casting doubt on its future

Seriously. WTF?
Chad, Congo, and Sudan have the highest tax rate and they are doing awesome. Don't know about Zambia. Brasil has a fairly high tax rate. It seems to muddle along, but Americans when they think about it, don't think much about it.
I think Yellen took her last exam and threw her notes and he accumulated learning in to the waste can as she walked out of the classroom.
Of course these are the same people that lied about the Russia Hoax and COVID. so none of it is surprise anymore. The lies come so fast, it is not hard at all to imagine what it is like to be bitch slapped.
This is a cartel by the G-7, also known as price fixing which is illegal in all G-7 nations.
