How will they force collections?

That's easy. It will be just like it is now, but afterwards the Feds will pass money onto the UN. You wouldn't have a separate international tax return; all of the domestic machinery would still be in places.

After all, how different would that be from the situation now where your taxes are wasted on a lot of useless pork we don't approve of? (Aside from the fact I would REALLY, REALLY disapprove of an international tax).

The difference is that we, the United States, are a sovereign nation, not a collection agency for an international one world government. Is Congress going to try to sneak it in the budget?

I couldn't agree more, but if it were done, there would only be one tax bill, and it wouldn't be itemized.

Good question, but when's the last time the UN really fought a war? I don't think they'd do anything if we went to war with ourselves. I don't think they could even bomb us from thirty thousand feet becuase the conservative population would have all the military equipment.

Well, hold on now. That didn't happen after the Revolutionary War. Having a war and our side winning out beats the alternative of our current gradual decline continuing and getting worse for hundreds of years until total collapse. Life might be a lot more enjoyable if this did happen. (obviously, for those who die fighting it won't, but I digress)

There are still ways to fight it.

I've been for a civil war for many months now until I thought of Martial Law. I get back to you tomorrow after I think more about why neither side would win and that we would all lose.
