PING!

[Paul C. Jesup]

Tyrants want to tax U.S. citizens. Why I am not surprised.

[LibertarianInExile]

When the UN starts taxing America, that is the day many Americans will simply not pay them any more. Some of us are already mad as hell. One more tax is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

[Reactionary]

The day the UN totalitarians start taxing the free world is the day the free world will cease to exist.

It will also be the day that the American people declate war on the Leftist fanatics who run that particular Stalinist "institution."

[Just A Nobody]

It will also be the day that the American people declate war on the Leftist fanatics who run that particular Stalinist "institution."

I would like to think so, but I have little confidence in that anymore.

[Schwaeky]

If they can levy taxes, they can raise a global bureacracy and a one-world army to impose its will...

Get the USA out of the UN and the UN out of the USA!

"The day the UN totalitarians start taxing the free world is the day the free world will cease to exist. It will also be the day that the American people declate war on the Leftist fanatics who run that particular Stalinist "institution.""

I agree with the former statement, but the latter is wishful thinking. No more than 30% of the Americans in the 13 colonies were pro-Revolution. Most folks were pro-status quo or just wanted to keep their heads down. Assuming the American people will stand up against UN taxation is as bad as assuming sheep will fight being sheared. I would not assume that, after a tax is agreed to by the elected President and Congress, an anti-UN stance would get the support of even 20% of Americans, given the years of follow-government-blindly publik-skule indoctrination most Americans have been through.

[A CA Guy]

The UN exists at the pleasure of world bodies wishing to tolerate them.
Nobody elected them world leader with the ability to tax anything.

[Paul C. Jesup]

I feel the UN is the modern day League of Nations, and when it tries this, the first world democracies and republics that fund the UN will pull their funding and the UN will collapse under it's own corrupt and stupidity, much like the actual UN HQ building is doing right now in New York City.

Tyrants want to tax U.S. citizens.

They've been doing it for years.
It's called the "self-employment" tax.

[Paul C. Jesup]

See post 10.

[Smokin' Joe]

Time for the US and the City of New York to consider clearing a little prime real estate, and send the whole lot packing.

Kelo them. They are not paying taxes are they? A convenience store would bring in more tax revenue, without all the unpaid parking tickets.

We'll all be dead in our graves before that ever happens.

[Paul C. Jesup]

LOL!! I give it five years tops before it happens.

[goldstategop]

The Left supports the idea because it backs World Government, it is hostile to the United States and it believes the elites know what is best for the Little People. So for a variety of reasons, American citizens may one day be paying global taxes against their will. It would be "taxation without representation" and that's the reason this country's Founders launched a revolution against the British King.

The only "world government" I support is the one where I'm referred to as His Royal Majesty, and everyone bows down to me. /sarcastic fantasy

[kpbruinfan]

Exactly! First we need to close the borders and secondly the UN can do all the taxing and posturing it wants from Easter Island. There have been great discussions here about the USA being once an isolationist nation or not - but the UN is reason # 1 that we ought to be - or at least cut way back on our availablilty and assistance to the rest of the world. As far as France goes: if their government wants to support this kind of garbage they can eat camel dung soup when the Crescents with their scimitars formally invade.

[Graymatter]

The globalists on the Right will see to it that the globalists on the Left do not fail.
Remember where the President stands on the Law of the Sea Treaty.
