What's the difference between global taxes and our system?

[The Duke]

There's no socialist like a German socialist! (aka "Nazi")

[Gunner9mm]

Ever wonder why I support our right to keep and bear arms? These nazis will not march down my street without feeling the heat.

[brooklin]

It's just great when "foreigners" have nothing better to do but come here and protest "our" country and our rules. Why can't they find enough wrong with their mess.

The unmitigated arrogance of this is astounding.

The memo’s authors include Hilary French

Well that's *two* strikes against her!

Global community action. Ha! Isn't indterdependence grand?

[RightWhale]

Who is going to oversee the proposed global tax to affect "hot money flows” in capital markets that could generate between $50 billion and $300 billion annually? That's about $8 to $50 redistribution per person on the planet. A pair of Chinese tennis shoes, each, every year.

[Shermy]

"the well-off on this globe occupy an excessive part of the environmental space,”

Creepy. Sounds like LEBENSRAUM.

[steenkeenbadges]

"Sustainable development" =

Illegal taxation (as in "without representation"), genocide-by-abortion, seizing private property, banning humans from "biopreserves", a billion more green laws, etc. etc. etc.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Another author is Anita Roddick, the British left-wing activist who founded The Body Shop, a cosmetics company with 1,500 stories in 47 countries. Rather than a war against terrorism, Roddick has urged "positive, peaceful alternatives” and the publication of "dissenting views.” After the terror attacks Sept. 11, she urged greater "understanding of Islam” and a "reinvigorated internationalism.”

Selling a lot of makeup in Kabul lately, Anita?

[Salman]

The German way of life nowadays is essentially the American way of life with a little extra social welfare stuff thrown in.
These greenies are attacking the US as a back handed way of attacking their own people.

[Centurion2000]

A controversial Green organization linked to Germany’s Socialist Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer is launching a campaign to impose $300 billion in global taxes and radically transform the American way of life.

To the Germans: we scratched your whole country in the 40's thanks to the last socialists you let get into power .... we can certainly pull a repeat performance, BEHAVE.

[Senator Pardek]

Other authors include Wolfgang Sachs, a fellow at German Wuppertal Institute who has achieved notoriety for arguing for a "virtue of enoughness” rather than more economic growth...

I'd like to see this guy explain that to some poor shmuck who's looking for a job.

Then again, he sounds a bit like a couple of Freepers, who love to carelessly throw around terms like "corporatism", and "Mammon".

[NormsRevenge]

capitalism has gone "astray” and "a new generation of instruments are needed such as user fees for the use of common goods” to help restructure the international system. It urges global "user fees” on the atmosphere, the oceans, and airspace to fund a World Environment Organization, an International Renewable Energy Agency and a World Commission on Mining, Gas and Oil Extraction.

Think Big!!

OWG ...Ouch !

I thought "Arbeit Macht Frei" was a lot catchier, myself.

,,, it's important to not over react to this notion. Keep in mind that the distaste for Americans that sometimes surfaces in this sort of outburst is second only to the hatred that Euro states have for each other.

[colorado tanker]

Just more proof that when communism was discredited with the fall of the Soviet Union, the commies migrated to the "green" movement.

[Still Thinking]

I'm hearing this "global tax" prattle with a little too much frequency to make me comfortable. Maybe we need a Constitutional amendment explicitly exempting Americans from any tax levied by any international body, so that if the Clinton/Gorons ever regain the presidency, they can't give in to this (already) unconstitutional globalist drivel, like you KNOW they'd love to do.
