I got an idea.
Why don't you and all your EUrine lackies contribute from your ill-begotten food-for-oil waivers as a form of penitence for your disgraceful conduct.
Non!
I didn't think you'd go for that ether.

FRENCH President Jacques Chirac made a new call today for an "international tax", saying such a levy would help generate funds to help poor countries and those hit by disasters such as the Asian tsunami.
"These events stress the need to increase public aid towards development and to find innovative financing mechanisms such as an international taxation," Mr Chirac said in a New Year speech to the Paris diplomatic corps.
He said France would press the international tax idea this year at meetings of the Group of Eight - the G7 rich countries plus Russia - and at the United Nations, but gave no details of his proposals.
France has also supported Britain's proposal for an International Finance Facility to double Third World aid, but continues to push its "international tax" as an additional idea.
Mr Chirac made the tax proposal at a meeting of the Group of Eight - the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Canada and Russia - last year but won little support from the other powers for the idea.
A working group appointed by Mr Chirac suggested in a report last year that such taxes could be levied on arms sales, financial transactions, company profits and fares for air and sea travel.
However, Mr Chirac has ruled out the so-called Tobin Tax on foreign exchange transactions as impractical.
In his New Year speech, Mr Chirac also reiterated his support for an "immediate" debt moratorium for countries hit by the tsunami - a position he said France would take at a January 12 meeting of the Paris Club of sovereign creditors.

Let's put a special tax on French wine, cheese and clothing...
Imbecile
STOP JOHN LE KERRY'S FRIEND BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
Simple solution to this: INVADE FRANCE AND REMOVE CHIRAQ. Should only take about 30 minutes (1 hour tops).
I think that's "imbécile."
He has no power to tax US citizens. He's an idiot. He must think that they are not getting enough aid and money to help the victims of the tsunami. Just another left wing nut trying to redistribute the wealth.
Not so fast Frenchie.
How much has France donated towards the relief efforts?
as a member of the Army I was shocked at your response 1 hour tops give us some credit here, we would have to get a boy scout troop to do our dirty work
There already is a tax--it's called the UNSkimming Tax.
"FRENCH President Jacques Chirac made a new call today for an "international tax", saying such a levy would help generate funds to help poor countries and those hit by disasters such as the Asian tsunami to pay off shaky loans from French banks to third world governments. Some of the money will go to foods and medicines and France, a la Food for Oil, will channel purchases to French producers.
You could add a special tax on big mouth pols especially French.
roads in France aren't that good (except those coming from Germany). It might take an hour to get to Paris from a less than optimal drop zone.
How about they send back all the money they stole from the Iraqi People in the Oil For Food Scandal? This way no new tax would be required. The money could be used for the relief efforts in Asia.
It is a international agency or department that works at the direction of those member countries.
It is bad enough to have to pay taxes to the American Government, but heaven forbid I ever send any tax money to some unaccountable foreign entity. Chirac can take his socialist philosophy and stick himself!
you give the french to much credit. All you have to do is threaten them and they would quiver.

I call for Froganistani doctors to perform a
RECTOCRANIAL extraction on Jock-Itch chIRAQ ASAP!
And who would administer & manage this money? Jackass Chirac & Kofi Annan's son perhaps? Guess Jackass needs to finance another personal island or castle getaway or something. Sounds like embezzling 22 billion from the last big international slush fund didn't sate his socialist appetite for stealing huge quantities of other people's money.
I would have to threaten them in English (don't speak any French). Would take them 1 hour to translate.
The French are hopelessly mired in the own socialist created mess and want their inability to do anything subsidized by the world.......to continue to acomplish nothing. The French and the UN are hopeless and need to clean up their own backyard before they're able to tell anyone else how to solve problems, much less tax them.
Wonder how much the Frogs and the rest of the UN sent for 2004 huricane relief when Florida was partially wiped out 3 times? Bet not a penny!!
Not a penny.
This man is a Communist.
Don't forget that Hillary proposed that US funds educate the entire world.
In our family, we refer to him as "Monsieur Jock Strap."
What part of "OVER MY DEAD BODY" don't you understand?
Chirac had people dying in the streets during their heatwave. He didn't even care about his own.
"Monsieur Jacques Itch" in ours...
I think this is a GREAT idea. Let the French add on to their tax burden, and leave me alone.
I give to private charities but Over my dead body will I ever pay such a tax.
That's Brilliant...........chuckle......and true.
Let's see... an International tax.... administered by people we have no electoral power over, and called for by a country that stole money in the oil for food program......They must be french...
Just finished reading Timmerman's book "The French Betrayal of America", a must read! Timmerman really exposes Chirac for the two timing traitor and profiteer that he is!
Ehhh Jacques, bebe: fuquez-vous!!
Someone tried...didn't work though..
I would like to see them surrender to a Fox News crew...
Gaulum delindum est
Notice how this list excludes from taxation all bribes received from brutal mid-eastern dictators for the approval of nuclear power plants and arms sales, as well as the money skimmed from the UN oil for food program. I'll bet that the America-hating Communist Frog turd would sing a different tune if these items were included.
And may I add: "From my cold, dead hands, you smelly, useless, bloviating, frog-eurotrash commie.
I don't know what it is now but they started at $130,000.
LOL love that name! chIRAQ! good one! I agree. France is the enemy. No buts about it. They openly collaborated with Saddam and now they are licking China's feet. They also fund Hamas and Hezbollah.
We should have fought the British AND the French in 1776.
