Many U.S. Senators won't rule out Global Taxes (My Title)

Oh please. Most of these guys were just sputtering, "DUH???". The idea of global taxes may be on the radar screens of paranoids and/or unusually thoughtful people who actually LISTEN to fringe groups, but most everyone else has never thought about it, and that's what all but one of these guys said. They just haven't thought about it-- it's not on their radar screen.

I'm sure that as a convenience to the taxpayer, those elected officials who support a "wealth redistribution" plan will call it a "global tax". That way, no one will be confused, and we can all understand exactly what we're voting on.

[Iconoclast2]

Shouldn't a Republican senator have enough principles/knowledge to reject a global tax out of hand, without the need to read up on the issue?

[mamelukesabre]

What's the difference between paying a global tax and paying dues to the UN?

[GuillermoX]

It's coming!! Bet your life on it.

These things don't happen overnight, it takes decades. But all the wacko ideas start out this way.

[o_zarkman44]

If we the people have been hearing about global taxation by the UN for awhile, how can we be so naive to think that members of Congress haven't heard about it too?

The art form of avoidance from public accountability has been demonstrated as a refined practice by Congress for years by claiming ignorance of the facts.

No doubt in my mind they have an opinion. They don't want to show their trump card yet, preferring to sign off on a midnight vote, as we would expect from the gutless of Congress.

Does anyone have any idea why Ted Stevens and John Warner got so bent out of shape at the question? Ted Stevens answer makes me want to get out my tin foil hat.

Boy, this one sure separates the RINOs from the patriots, doesn't it?

Exactly. The RINOs have never thought about it??? Aren't able to have an opinion about this??? They aren't just RINOs... they're complete f*cking morons!

[Mulder]

Remember the last time they tried "Taxation without Representation"? It's "Tea Party" time!!!

Yeah. We settled this over 200 years ago.

But tyrants seem to have a slow "learning curve".

Generally that works out okay for them, since the tyrants usually win, unless Americans or Texans are opposed to them.

And just so the tyrants know, Americans and Texans will be against them if they try a global tax.

[Mulder]

This, my FRiends, is why we must throw all these babies out with the bath water. They will do the deed in the dark of night on a voice vote with this piece of crap buried in an appropriation bill.

Yep. My guess is that a global tax will be implemented within this decade.

The question is: "will we Americans pay it?" I've already answered that question for myself.

[Mulder]

.... We are being nibbled to death by ducks.

The latest being this illegal CFR bill, which violates our Constitution. It was implemented by both parties to ensure that only the "party boys" will have a voice in selecting the puppet candidates for us. The purpose of that bill is to 1) keep grass-roots candidates from winning, and 2) to put fear in people who want to speak out on political issue. They seek to criminalize Free speech, just like they seek to criminalize the Right to self defense and the Right to bear arms.

What the "breaking point" will be is anyone's guess at this point. The tyrants are betting that when that day comes, we will roll over for them. I hope they are wrong.
