Who are the employees of the United Nations giving political money to?

Let's look...

Who'da thunk?

[airedale]

Does he pay taxes in Sweden where income tax is as follows {I have no doubt that the UN does NOT pay the employer tax or the pension fee or any of the other taxes. I'll also bet that he intends to collect the Swedish pension}:

"Sweden has a taxation system that combines a direct tax (paid by the employee) with an indirect tax (paid by the employer). In practice, the employer provides the state with both means of taxation but the employee only sees the direct tax on his declaration form. Below is a compilation of the taxes that compose the final income tax (2003):

Tax on "gross" income "from the employer": 32,82% (indirect, fixed)
Pension "fee" on "gross" income: 6.95% (indirect, fixed)
"State tax" on, "gross" income less pension tax and a "base deduction": ~32% (direct, varies by state)
"Federal tax" on, "gross" income less pension tax and a "base deduction": 0%, 20% or 25% (direct, progressive)
[edit]
Example
Income: 180,000 kronor ($25,000)

Tax: 121,634 (68% of income)
"Employer tax": 59,076
Pension "fee": 12,510
State tax: 50,048
Income: 450,000 kronor ($64,285) (eligible for "federal" income tax of 25%)

Tax: 412,665 (92% of income)
"Employer tax": 147,690
Pension "fee": 31,275
State tax: 131,200
Federal tax: 102,500 "

Man, they love sKerry and the democrats, don't they. Who'd a thunk it.

You may have picked up a link for a lecturer/researcher; someone who has already received a degree. A Fulbright Scholar is usually in pursuit of a degree and doesn't get anywhere near that amount of money. Also, both governments support the program. It's not just the US. I think the info you want is here: http://www.fulbright.no/?module=Articles;action=Article.publicShow;ID=32

My friend is a Fulbright Scholar from Norway. She would be shocked to find out she is getting $5000 a month.

My understanding is she got about $10-12,000 her first year and that was it. After that, she only has her stipend to live on, which is the same $1400 or so that we all made as doctoral students before passing our comprehensive exams.

She has the title of Fulbright Scholar, which is trotted out at school functions and a crappy insurance coverage from them, worse than the university student insurance. Unless she gets something new on a Christmas trip home to Norway, she's been wearing the same clothes since we got here in 2001.

I have some additional scholarship income and often give my friend food, school supplies and other odds and ends, as $1400 doesn't go far in Seattle, rents being what they are.

I'm not supporting Egeland. I just didn't want people to have the wrong idea about the program. The money allowed her to get out of Norway with a little money to get an apartment, etc. over here. It was hardly a windfall for a 5 year program.

You are better at figuring this stuff than I am, but all your numbers need to be increased a bit. It is strange, but your link goes to the 2002 sheet, mine to the 2003 spreadsheet. Mine was reached by going here and clicking on Click Here under "THE PROFESSIONAL AND HIGHER CATEGORIES".

If he has children the UN also pays the full tuition for them to attend any University in the world..tax fee of course.

[Howlin]

Did you all see this?

[Howlin]

This totals out at US $349,120 p.a..

And no taxes?

BTW, nice work.

[Howlin]

Just glancing at him, I don't think he's a breeder.

[leadpenny]

Can someone please ping . . .

The Washington Times
The New York Post
The Boston Herald
FOX News
Rush
etc.

[Howlin]

Who are the employees of the United Nations giving political money to? Let's look...

That's too funny!

[Mo1]

And this jackal had the nerve to say we want to be taxed more to pay his bleeping bleeping salary????

[Howlin]

Never mind. I just sent it to the White House.

[leadpenny]

Nothing like starting at the top.

BTW, you're in great form this morning, or is it still evening for you?

[Mo1]

Does the UN reimburse them for that too??

[Howlin]

Evening for me, morning for you, I'm sure. Gosh, is it 3 a.m.?????

I am in a good mood tonight. Nothing I love more than seeing a man like this jerk exposed!

[leadpenny]

As the fellow from the Guardian Angels (I don't want to attempt spelling) sitting in for Hannity called him, "The Squarehead!"

[shibumi]

The 16th amendment was NEVER ratified. It was declared ratified by executive fiat. It has no legal basis except the defacto status we have given it by our compliance.

(Name withheld to protect the non-compliant!)

[Howlin]

Curtis called him that? Way cool.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Oh, if they think the heat they got from the "Oil for Food" scandal was bad, when this is hits, it's going to go from bake to full Boil.

What this article means in a nutshell that since the U.S. taxpayers pay for 20% to 25% of the UN's dues that we U.S. taxpayers are paying these elitists' TAXES.

And these elitists still have the gall to bad mouth us.
