UN Wants A Cut of U.S. GNP

How many tomahawks can you buy with 0.7% of the GNP?

How much rent do we charge the UN for those nifty offices and flag poles?

If poverty causes unhappiness, how about sticking about five grand in the pocket of every illegal we ship home
...then deduct that plus the cost of processing the return from the foreign aid we might have sent their masters?

Or, we could charge a few points tax on profits from foreign owned US businesses and ask them to send it direct to the UN
...see how much they'd collect that way!

How about we did (a), (c), and (d), then charged the UN 0.7% of our GNP to stay in NYC?

The United States must turn over 0.7% of our gross national product—roughly $70 billion—to the UN Office of Development Assistance to ostensibly fight poverty around the world.

Is this why "Ban All Guns" Bono was meeting w/ O'Neill and "W"? Oh nooooo!.He's GOT to repeal the estate tax FIRST (and that'll never happen)then Fix the INS,Deal w/ the repercussions of #42's intentional acts against America,just to start-----It seems to me there are MANY more important things than to give MORE money to Poor people,in poor countries, who don't like us.(Yes,I'm using a 'Paintbrush Statement' today)This is ridiculous.Tax This, Tax That,Tax This,Tax that----I've really had enough already.Now,Lets give MORE money away and to the U.N. no less? Please tell me this ISN'T what 'W' agreed to in Monterrey recently!!!Listen, those countries will NEVER get out of poverty until they MOVE.The U.S.A. has been Giving Trillions for Years and are they still a 3rd World Country? I say "Screw Guilt",don't let people throw guilt on you.I don't. (It makes a GREAT Bumper Sticker too).</Rant
