More than 11 years ago, the Center for Freedom and Prosperity released this video about the OECD, a Paris-based bureaucracy subsidized by American taxpayers.
As outlined in the video, there are many reasons to dislike the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
As a fan of tax competition, I don’t like the OECD because the bureaucrats persecute jurisdictions with low tax burdens.
But the bureaucracy’s pro-tax harmonization campaign is a symptom of a broader problem, which is that the OECD relentlessly advocates for higher taxes.
Consider the recent publication entitled “Fighting Tax Crime – The Ten Global Principles.” As you can see, nine of those ten principles involve more power and authority for government.
Since I’m not an anarcho-capitalist, I realize some taxation is necessary (ideally only the amount needed to finance genuine public goods).
As such, I don’t necessarily condemn enforcement policies.
