I copied this from "The Liberator", a Libertarian e-zine to which I subscribe.

Thoughts?

The U.N. is groping about for money to replace the billions in Oil-for-Food money they've lost.

I have a feeling that our Administration is going along with the discussion for now, but any American participation is going to depend on major reforms in the U.N. Reforms that won't be forthcoming, killing the concept.

This is like having a Union in a monopoly. DOOMED TO FAILURE on every level IMO.

In general, this idea sickens me. But then I consider how much a tax on international airline tickets or international money transfers would cost me and I figure not much.

Then I consider who these taxes would hit hardest and I realize it would be global corporations and illegal immigrants. I have been so disgusted with both of these groups lately that I really don't give a damn how hard they are taxed. Don't count on me to lift a finger to ease their burden.

Global corporations will be hit the hardest and they are the ones pushing for the global new world order. It seems appropriate that they should be the ones who have to pay for it. And your kidding yourself if you think they would be taxed without representation. Who do you think is paying all the bribes to the corrupt UN? They are VERY WELL represented.

Yeah, but we're all rich here in America, right?

I for one am sick and tired of every politician on the planet thinking he's entitled to dig in MY POCKET!!!

Regular folks like us will get stuck with the bill becuz they'll (the world corps) will pass the expense along to us via higher prices. It's called "Embedded Taxes." Probably a third of the price of everything we buy is embedded taxes. This would only jack ALL consumer prices up that much more.

All taxes must be ratified by the House... All treaties must be ratified by the Senate. It says so in the Constitution... It seems that this is a combination of a tax and a treaty. So they might just get away with this sort of Crap... Then again, since when does any branch of our government care about what's in the Constitution?

Yeah... they seem to prefer to make it up as they go. Sometimes I think Dubya is a bigger globalist than his ol' man.

Here you go. This is the reason for global tax. The UN needs more money to keep the ball rolling. Plus, once they get one tax enacted, they can move in for the kill on the tax issue.

Should this happen, and should Americans refuse to revolt, then this nation deserves to become the cesspoll slave state that will follow.

To some extent taxes are passed on but to a large extent new taxes cannot be passed on because businesses were already pricing their goods at the highest price the market would bear before the tax was imposed. They can't raise prices without losing market share and the big winner might be domestic businesses who did not incur the international taxes.

To the extent that taxes can't be passed along they either need to take it out of profits and it costs the shareholders or they make it up by cutting other costs with the most likely candidate being labor. I frankly don't care if they pay the Chinese slave a bit less or a lot less.

Taxes cannot always be passed onto consumers and the more competitive the environment the more difficult it is.

I have been screaming about this for quite awhile! Now maybe you will hear! Bring yourselves up to date:

Just attach Kofi and his son's bank accounts and there is enough money to bail out all the "poor" countries and still keep their respective despots in the lifestyle they have become accustomed to (or "to which they have become accustomed" for you Grammar Cops).

What gives you that opinion? Hopes and dreams?
