The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is a Paris-based bureaucracy that seeks to punish low-tax jurisdictions in an attempt to hinder the flight of jobs and capital from high-tax countries. Unwilling to reform their tax codes for fear of undermining their ballooning and highly inefficient welfare states, OECD member nations are resorting to unjust protectionist measures against jurisdictions that have adopted free-market tax policies.

The Paris-Based OECD: Pushing Obama’s Big-Government Agenda With Your Tax Dollars
American taxpayers finance nearly one-fourth of the budget for the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, an international bureaucracy that routinely advocates for more government – including more taxes and spending in the United States. In just the past couple of years, the OECD has used American tax dollars to advocate Obamacare-type health policies, push for failed Keynesian stimulus spending, promote Al Gore-style carbon taxes, and urge the enactment a value-added tax. To reduce wasteful spending and protect America’s free market system, American subsidies for this Paris-based bureaucracy should be eliminated.

Monitoring the OECD’s Campaign Against Tax Competition, Fiscal Sovereignty, and Financial Privacy: Strategies for Low-Tax Jurisdictions
The tide is now turning against high-tax nations – particularly as more people understand that ever-increasing fiscal burdens inevitably lead to Greek-style fiscal collapse. Political changes in the United States further complicate the OECD’s ability to impose bad policy. Because of these developments, low-tax jurisdictions should be especially resistant to new anti-tax competition initiatives at the Bermuda Global Forum.
