Well the USA isn't following it so it's dead. But also, there were loopholes making it meaningless. For example, here in Switzerland the government said they'd follow it but local governments could provide rebates to companies.

And why not? We don't need the extra revenue. Why should we raise taxes on local companies when we don't want the money? Just because other countries can't control their spending why do we have to raise our taxes? It's stupid.
