[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WB is mostly for providing infrastructure funding and could come on the chopping block. Have worked there before, I see a lot of bloat that US ended up covering. Extensive travel to African and other countries and very generous pay packages is an eye sore for the administration so consider it to receive some resistance. [/quote]y

And a lot of employees pay zero income tax [/quote]

Yes. My friends who worked there never paid US income tax while working and making $300-400k, they retired at age 60, and then filed for a green card. Their kids also got free tuition at private schools in DC. [/quote]

Very few make 300-400k, that is director  level. Green cards are also not readily given anymore, which is pretty dumb if you ask me, as that is when the foreign individual can finally be taxed. The no income tax thing just relates to how international organizations work. There is an agreement that employees are not taxed and that applies to IOs anywhere in the world. Some countries including the US however choose to tax their nationals regardless. The WB and IMF compensate the US staff to make their total income comparable to visa staff but not all IOs do that.

Tuition is not free. IMF staff get 75%, WB does not have that benefit to my knowledge anymore. [/quote]
