Excerpt from Jan Egeland Biography
Mr Egeland holds a Magister Artium in Political Science, University of Oslo. He has been a Fulbright Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and a fellow at the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo, and the Truman Institute for the Advancement for Peace, Jerusalem. Mr. Egeland has been Chair of Amnesty International, Norway, and Vice Chair of the International Executive Committee of Amnesty International.
Which means he gets a gross salary of UnderSecretaryGeneral|Gross $186,144 but pays no Income Taxes for I quote from the link:
Income taxes: Most member states have granted United Nations staff exemption from national income taxation on their United Nations emoluments. However, a few member States do tax the emoluments of their nationals. In such cases, the organizations reimburse the income tax to the staff member.
which means even if he does pay income taxes the UN reimburses him!

Which means he was paid around $5,000 per Month from US TAX MONEY for the current compensation for Norwegians (Norwegian Fulbright Program)
I want our money back.
DUmmies must be wondering if they could get him to run for national office.
From the UN website:-
http://www.un.org/Depts/OHRM/salaries_allowances/sitemap.htm
We can find Mr. Egerland's base salary is a pitiful US$174,137 p.a.. In addition Mr Egerland receives a New York duty allowance equivalent to 60.7% of his base. A piffling $105,159.
Now he also receives a rent allowance equal to 25% of his adjusted salary which works out to be $69,824.
This totals out at US $349,120 p.a..
GREAT! Then he won't mind donating HIS year's salary to this humanitarian effort. Right?
Taxes are a wonderful thing... so long as you can get someone else to pay them.
Thanks for the post/information.
Any way to find out how much he's donated to charities, or disaster reliefs - this one or previous disasters?
I figure he must give a good chunk since he thinks what we donate is "stingy".
I bet anything he's a phony and a fraud, but very generous with other people's money.
I hope we get to shine some light on this ingrate.
Wel Jannie has been to every Bastion of Socialist Bovine Scarptology taht is on the face of the Earth. So we should pay him an exorbitant taxfree salary so he can Criticise us and tell the world that We WANT to pay MORE TAXES, so pinhead National Socialists like him can spend it!!
What we REALLY WANT and what we are REALLY going to get is OUT of the UN and the UN OUT of the US. And Little Jannie can go back to Norway and repair his fishing nets and start getting up for work!
This totals out at US $349,120 p.a..
All things being relative, I guess this splains why he thinks $15,000,000.00 is chump change. I say cut his salary & bennies 85-90% and perhaps fifteen million dollars will look a tad larger to him. BTW, I would be very interested in knowing the amount he has personally donated to the relief fund. I'm sure it is significant. /s
At the very least, he will tithe 7% of his salary. :::holding my breath:::
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%!

I don't care if he doesn't pay any income tax, I think that's great...now only if we could repeal the 16th Amendment & make that the case for everyone else.
I remember during the California governor's race that conservatives were whining & trashing Arainna Huffington 'cuz she paid only a pittance in federal income taxes. SO WHAT? There have been questions about whether or not the 16th Amendment has been properly ratified in the first place, & the FedGov refuses to discuss the issue....I smell a dead rat here, & it really stinks.
