Interesting...

UN scale of assessments (regular budget) in 2001

USA 22 %
Japan 19.628 %
Germany 9.493 %
France 6.283 %
United Kingdom 5.380 %
Italy 4.922 %
Canada 2.573 %
Spain 2.448 %
Brazil 1.702 %
Netherlands 1.688 %
Australia 1.604 %
Korea, Republic of 1.318 %
Russia 1.200 %
Belgium 1.098 %
Sweden 0.998 %

So the US is paying 22% of the budget and GB 5.38%. So per head of population, each British taxpayer is paying more than you Americans!

And you reckon you're getting the shaft!

Of course Japan is the one really stumping up but then they've got a lot to make up for haven't they.

I suppose the USA has the added indignity of having to host this gang of communists on it's own soil as well as it's financial contribution.

So we own the UN I see. Let's sell it off for all it's parts and put up the assets to World Wide Islamists in America and the ACLU while we're at it...

The US pays 22% of the US budget not the UN budget. Britain pays 5.3% of the British budget. How do you figure that you pay more per head than the US does?

Yes, we are.

After all, we have to host the riffraff, not you. And not just anywhere, but on acres in the middle of the choicest real estate in Manhattan.

I'd rather see a waste-treatment facility there, it would be more useful.
