UN Aims to Tax America's 425 Billionaires...

...and the other "315 in the Asia-Pacific region, 310 in Europe, 90 in other North and South American countries and 86 in Africa and the Middle East."

All "to help raise more than $400 billion a year for poor countries".

As corrupt as the UN itself is infamously known to be in re: to $$ collection and redistribution...

...just think of all the future millionaires already plotting within this socialist scheme.

An annual lump sum payment by the super-rich is one of a host of measures including a tax on carbon dioxide emissions, currency exchanges or financial transactions proposed in a UN report that accuses wealthy nations of breaking promises to step up aid for the less fortunate.

Can't wait till some statist bozo tries floating this proposal to the top of the bowl known as the House...

Not sure they have taxation powers do they?

The UN is not a governmental body, and our US Constitution is the final legal authority under which US citizens are legally bound. The UN has no legal authority within the borders of the United States. The only funding the UN can receive is that voluntarily provided, provided from congressional authorization. That should also be withdrawn, and the UN should be given notice to find a new home.

Used to 'Trick or Treat for UNICEF', maybe that's their idea for collecting a 'UN Tax'....
