And you think the current beneficiaries going to agree to that? Don't forget that the current beneficiaries are not just a long list of tax havens, but the largest and most powerful corporations in the world, who have considerable influence over the US government.
so we can play whack-a-mole with any governments that look like they might be thinking this is a good idea.
Even then, look at how the EU treats countries that don't stick to the agreed fiscal rules - if they're France or Germany, then the rules get "interpreted" around. If its some Southern European country with no clout, then all hell is unleashed. Indeed, when the tax avoidance is through Jean Claude Junker's tax haven homeland, its all legal and above board. When Ireland does it, that's illegal.
