The UN taps wealth. The United States creates it. Nothing new here.
3.64 trn in UN taxes and fees to fatten their own bank accounts.
"But - and the UN admits it is a big "but" - the US would have to sign up to Kyoto and carbon trading to achieve the $3.64trn that it believes the system would deliver over time."
Why didn't somebody ask Slick Willie while he was there why he didn't sign the Kyoto Treaty?
With liberals always look at the bottom line of the hysteria they are whipping up. There you will find the goal hoped to be acheived by the hysteria.
Global warming...we are all going to die! The solution is massive global taxation for the unelected socialists of the UN to rule over all the "states" of the globe.
Nutjobs.
Hey, maybe koffycan himself is the anti-christ talked about in the 'Left Behind' series. lol
Just another in the interminable list of proposals to pick Uncle Sam's wallet.
There's nothing new in this; it's Algore's carbon tax in a little more "Three Card Monte" clothing.
I know damn well I oppose it bitterly.
Actually, it would 'deliver wealth' if you define transfering wealth from the developed countries, mostly the US, to the third world. Yes, there would be wealth delivered, just not created.
Essentially the UN is proposing to transfer a full 1/3 of our GNP to the poorer countries.
1) Kyoto
2) Saving the Whales
3) Feeling Really Bad about Genocide in Africa
4) Showing Grave Concern About a Nuclear Iran"
Look Kofi, you're an embarassing amateur at all this. You really need to take some huckster lessons from some fellow Africans in Nigeria. This would be much more effective:
"Dear Friend:
My name is Kofi Annan - and I desperately need your help. Due to evil forces in the UN who are using a corruption probe to steal all our money - we need to safeguard our funds by sending it to a willing partner - who will be richly rewarded for their help. All you need to do is send us the account number and password of your Central Bank and the security procedures for your gold storage facilities, whereupon we will transfer our funds to you for your safekeeping. In reward for this, we will send you several underage children we've detained for this express purpose.
I thank you for your timely assistance, and Allah willing, we will defeat the reactionary forces that refuse to acknowledge the supreme authority of the UN.
Allah Akhbar,
Kofi Annan"
Algore attended the signing session and signed for the United States.
Clintoon never had the courage to bring it to the Senate for ratification, because they had already rejected it in principle about 95 - 0.
It is not a lack of money that causes the world's woes.
Opressive governments do that job.
Are these people all taking vast quantities of LSD?
In the long run the world could save that much just by getting rid of the UN
Is the UN only about the environment now?
