Get the U.N. out of the U.S. and the U.S. out of the U.N.

[garyhope]

Yeah, like this is going to happen.

When they can pry it out of my cold dead hands.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Bill Clinton is not French but he wants to do this. If he takes power in the UN - and Hitlery takes power in the US - we WILL begin to be taxed by the UN. THEY WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THIS TAKES PLACE!

[LuvUSA]

[toddst]

. . . some high-tax nations of Europe are looking for ways to punish the United States for creating a prosperous society by encouraging the individual to strive for success as far as his talents and ambition can carry him.

Yep, they want to destroy our economic system to make theirs more competitive. We knew they were (are) the enemy of free enterprise and liberty.

Let the UN move to Paris! They deserve each other.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Even some internationally minded figures such as author-analyst Bill Kristol are willing to consider that proposal.

I'm not a huge fan of Bill Kristol, but recently on FOX News Sunday I heard him reject the moves of the UN, especially its Security Council, and even suggested the U.S. should consider withdrawing its membership. If he keeps this up, he might become a full-fledged conservative!

[ThomasMore]

Sooner or later people will come to believe that the Socialists / Communists are pushing for world dominance. That old healthy fear of Communism needs a comeback. These b**tards have been infiltrating at every level every institution with malicious intent. They won't be satisfied until the Constitution and Declaration of Independence are only historical documents. The U.S.A. stands in their way for world domination.

French Globalists Want to Tax U.S. and Rest of the World

Just Say (hell) No!

[Sofa King]

I swear to God I am THIS close to organizing a group of people, dressing up as indians, raiding a French cargo ship, and dumping all of the wine into the harbor.

[smadurski]

The UN can go to hell if they think that us americans will stand by and let them take money from us at gunpoint. This is a good reason to reelect George W to office since he is the first president in awhile that has stood up to the UN.

[Lady Eileen]

bump

[Mind-numbed Robot]

With a world tax and UN domination would we really notice any difference from when the Democrats ran the country?

[MHT]

The true power of taxation rests in the ability to collect the tax. Whose military do they plan to use to enforce and collect these international taxes? Ours?

[waRNmother.armyboots]

We already have a global tax. It is called UN dues.

[Norse]

Kyoto is part of the same scheme also. Screw these people. We don't hog wealth, we created it ourselves.

[TexanToTheCore]

I used to think that Wayne LaPierre was a nutcase....I am now an NRA member.

I thought our pastor was unsophisticated when he stated that Allah was not the same God we worship. Turns out that he was right.

I wouldn't have dreamed that I would ever have supported pulling out of the UN, but now I am convinced that we need to exit this institution that has outlived its usefulness.

The world changes quickly these days and one must adapt.

[Billthedrill]

So what do they want the money for?

[Liberal Classic]

In Le Monde, d'Estaing calls for a world tax on three sources: oil production, exports of armaments, and air transport and intercontinental maritime traffic.

Isn't this four different things? Expect more accounting like this from the Economic Security Council. There's just no ESCaping them.

[FierceDraka]

I feel the anger rising again...

First a tax on the above-mentioned items and services. Next, a tax on stock dividends. Finally, a UN tax on our incomes!

Mr Smith here says, "No way, Jaques!"
