  Peder Tordenskjold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Wessel Tordenskjold, also known as Peter Wessel, Peder Tordenskjold, or Peter Tordenskiold, (October 28, 1691-20 November 1720), was an eminent Norwegian naval hero in the service of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway.
Wessel was a wild unruly lad who gave his pious parents much trouble, eventually stowing away in a ship bound for Copenhagen.
Wessel was already renowned for two things: the audacity with which he attacked any Swedish vessels he came across regardless of odds, and his unique seamanship, which always enabled him to escape capture.

 Setting the Stage: The Coming Debate Over Tax and Fiscal Policy
Peter served in the Clinton administration, both as an economic counselor to the president and as staff on the Council of Economic Advisers.
PETER ORSZAG, Brookings Institution: The new view of dividend taxation says that dividend taxes are capitalized or reflected in share prices, and that as long as firms finance their investment out of retained earnings on an ongoing basis, there's no additional distortion created on their investment decisions.
I'll let Peter answer this, but what the Treasury has said to the reporters is that foreign companies will be allowed to give tax-free dividends to their shareholders to the extent the income is earned in the United States and taxed in the United States.
