The Most Powerful Woman on earth, Angela Merkel, appears to be hell bent
on challenging the Happiest Countries on Earth, such as
Forbes
Magazine announced their 11th annual list of the top 100 most powerful women in
the world, late August 2008. The criteria the magazine appears to have used is based
on a combination of public profile, how many times the women were mentioned by
the paparazzi and how much financial power the women wielded. Only 15% of the
top corporate jobs are held by women. Less than 3% of
The
magazine has estimated that the women on the list, have command of something
like $26 trillion dollars. The women appear to be defined by their jobs, rather
than by who they are. It is also reported that some collect an annual pay
of $11 million plus.
The
amount of money the woman controls, job title, past career and accomplishments,
are all taken into account. The magazine draws comparisons between the relevant
financial realms the women operate in, so as to assess the women on an even
playing field.
· Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, tops the list in 2008 for the third time in a row
· Second was Sheila Bair, head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp
· PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi came in third, gaining two positions over last year
· Angela Braly head of the health insurance Well Point retained fourth position, same as last year
·
· Ho Chin, Temasek Holdings and wife of the Prime Minister of Singapore, was No. 8, dropping from 3rd place last year
· Gail Kelly, head of Australian Westpac Bank came in No. 11
· Hilary Clinton, with the highest media profile, ranked 28, dropping three places from last year
· Oprah Winfrey ranked 36, dropping all the way from 8th position last year
· First Lady Linda Bush ranked 44
Angela
Merkel has been given the nickname the 'Iron Lady'. She appears to be following
in the footsteps of ex British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, even down to
having a similar type of agenda. Vice Premiere of the People's Republic of
Angela Merkel is crusading for the governments of the world to join a Tax Cartel. She is determined that a heavy-handed fist be brought to bear on all tax havens. Merkel recently purchased confidential client records of alleged tax evaders, stolen from a Lichtenstein bank. It is alleged the Lichtenstein bank sold the same material several times over, giving the bank a tidy profit.
As tax havens play a very relevant role in driving tax rates down in high-taxed countries, Merkel’s crusade could globally cost more than her crusade is worth. Without the alternative competition offered through tax havens taxes would soar unhindered.
