UC general secretary Brendan Barber said: "Governments around the world are embarking on a sweeping programme of austerity measures that will lead to huge job losses and cuts in services that the most vulnerable in society rely upon....

I feel like the most vulnerable in society with these knuckleheads at the helm.

Why does America continue to associate with countries who would be all too happy to implement a one world government? We need to dismantle the United Nations ASAP, and try its representatives from Socialist and Islamist hellholes as war criminals.

They argue that a financial tax would help meet the costs "of the global financial and economic crisis, including reducing the unacceptably high rate of job loss...

Hey G20 snapper-heads... Here is a news flash for you: it is taxes, socialism, and big government attempts to "manage" economies that are in fact causing the economic crisis and resultant job losses. Reduce taxes, reduce government meddling and regulation and the world economy will take off again.

I’m not opposed to the idea of a tax on international financial transactions, so much as I am opposed to allowing the UN to collect taxes on anything, period.

The only accountability the UN has is to its dependency on member state contributions. Allowing them an independent source of income would the greatest disaster that mankind has ever seen.

(And no, that’s not hyperbole.)

The United Nations was hatched by Americans in San Francisco, California. Many were later found to be communists, communist sympathizers, fellow travelers, neo-fascists, socialists and even Soviet spies!!

I got nothing against folks with less than me or folks with more for that matter.

If you lift the folks below you to to much privilege at your cost it will make them your competition.
If you tear down those above you at their cost, opportunities are lost.

Let the markets work.

No One regulates things better than the common man.

Sure, that’ll work. Taking employers’ money away from them always results in more jobs being created, doesn’t it ?

The “Robin Hood Tax” is just another name for the Tobin Tax which was hatched in America by economist James Tobin...

more global taxes :

Raising $100 billion a year of climate finance by 2020 is challenging, but possible through mechanisms including carbon markets, domestic carbon taxes and a variety of international transportation taxes, a United Nations advisory group said in a report Friday.
Earlier this year, the UN’s Ban established the panel, which includes U.S. National Economic Council Director Larry Summers, billionaire financier George Soros and Deutsche Bank vice-chairman Caio Koch-Weser.
The financing will be used to support mitigation and adaptation efforts in developing countries—in particular, for the poorest and most vulnerable communities.(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...———$100B/Yr Climate Finance Challenging, But Possible (global taxes!) - UN Panel (Soros), WSJ ^ | Nov. 5, 2010 | Selina Williams http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20101105-711365.html

Tax the rich to benefit the corrupt. And the lazy, and the sexually promiscuous, and the druggies. All of them claim jumpers. The corrupt at the head of the table helped to set these people against us.
