Like European nations ceded power to the EU our government could cede some power to the UN. Something i would put past Obama trying to do.
A taxing authority? The UN? Really? When did that happen?
It’s time to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. It has far outlived its usefulness, and has far outgrown its mandate.
This is madness...
We need to ask Roberts if this is a tax or a penalty.....
So that is a total of 1226 billionaires. Lets be generous and say each one has $10 billion in assets; that is a total of about $12 trillion. According to Wolfram Alpha, worldwide government spending is $14 trillion per year. Even if they confiscated every dollar, the money from the world's billionaires wouldn't last. This is just the "foot in the door". The real purpose is to further tax the middle class, until it is gone. Liberals never stop until they reach "equality"; that being a feudal state.
the “billionaire” tax is supposed to raise $46 Billion but the goal of these global crooks is $400 Billon - a year?
who in the entire 3rd world can even handle this amount of graft? Oh wait, international bankers...
Don't know of anyone who might have reliable info on the topic. Romney seems to have a better understanding and respect for the Constitution than most of the Left and we DO KNOW what Obama and his ilk ARE saying about how we need more taxes on/for everything.
And tax collectors don't take all your stuff and send you to prison or come after you with SWAT teams if you don't pay up?
Government is the most violent force on earth.
200-million human beings were murdered by their own governments in the twentieth century alone.
Tell me again how the UN demanding my money and a mugger demanding my money are different?
First, the OPEC billionnaires; when that is shown to be feasible (never), then the leftist billionnaires.
Thanks maggiesnotebook.
“Tell me again how the UN demanding my money and a mugger demanding my money are different?”
The UN has no taxing authority or collecting authority over you. The UN cannot put you in jail. They can’t make you pay any taxes, only your government can do that.
They are trying DESPERATELY to change that, because once they get it, they are the de facto world government, and they will grow like a metastatic cancer.
