What's the difference between the United Nations saying "I see you have some money there. Give it to me" and a mugger saying the same thing?

Once We The People throw Barry and his ‘RATS out on their asses, we really need to work on sending the commie bozos at the UN on their way. Americans shouldn’t have to put up with the UN’s crap.

If they start with a tax on Oprah Winfey and end with a Micheal Moore tax, I might be in favor. No matter how you slice it, those two take up way too much space on earth.

Less than 1,500 billionaires and they expect to raise $400 billion per year? It sounds like fuzzy math to me.

Hey, look on the bright side: Four more years of Obama, and we’ll be a poor country! Maybe we’ll qualify for the Billionaire Bucks!!

Maybe tax the wealthy dictators of those poor countries...but then, they'd just get some of their money back.

Until then don't even think about it.

The UN has no taxing authority here, nor should it have.

No way, no how. They’ll call it a “billionaire’s tax” but somehow it will end up being paid by dentists in Duluth.

And where does their taxing authority derive from?

I live under a constitution as do most of the other people of the planet, that gives our respective governments the power to tax us.

It's bad enough to pay this extortionate tax to one govt entity, the UN has no power over me for tax purposes.

The thin edge of the wedge. They get this tax through, then next one will arrive in about 3 years. For far more people and for far more money.

A taxing authority? The UN? Really? When did that happen?

It’s time to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. It has far outlived its usefulness, and has far outgrown its mandate.

This is madness...

There are an estimated 425 billionaires in the United States, 315 in the Asia-Pacific region, 310 in Europe, 90 in other North and South American countries and 86 in Africa and the Middle East.

So that is a total of 1226 billionaires. Lets be generous and say each one has $10 billion in assets; that is a total of about $12 trillion. According to Wolfram Alpha, worldwide government spending is $14 trillion per year. Even if they confiscated every dollar, the money from the world's billionaires wouldn't last. This is just the "foot in the door". The real purpose is to further tax the middle class, until it is gone. Liberals never stop until they reach "equality"; that being a feudal state.
