Obama's Global Tax Plan (UN control warning)
Newsmax ^ | 8/26/08 | James H. Walsh

"I speak to you not as a candidate for President but as a citizen — a proud citizen of the United States and a fellow citizen of the world."

— Barack Obama, Berlin, July 24, 2008

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is also a proud globalist and self-proclaimed agent of change.

As the Democratic National Convention begins in Denver, many still ponder just what kind of change Obama has in mind for the country. His sponsorship of the Global Poverty Act, and more recently his Berlin speech, are prime examples.

Peppered with "one-world" phrases such as “people of the world,” “global and globalization,” and “this is our time,” Obama’s speech delivered in Berlin on July 24, 2008, described the nation he desires to lead as an “imperfect union.” The candidate thus violated an unwritten rule of not criticizing our country outside the United States. _________________________________________________________

The first bill sponsored by a new U.S. senator speaks volumes on his or her political philosophy. The first bill sponsored by Barack Obama, the Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S.2433), would impose a global tax of 0.7 percent of gross national product (GNP) on the United States.

Estimates are that the Obama bill could cost the United States a total of $845 billion above current spending on foreign aid.

Obama sponsored the bill, which has 23 liberal co-sponsors. Led by U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Obama’s pick for vice-president, the co-sponsors include three Republicans: Richard Lugar, R-Ind., Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and Gordon Smith, R-Ore.

The bill incorporates the Millennium Development Goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000), which were developed at the United Nations Millennium Summit.

"Obama has stated that this bill “must be a priority of American foreign policy,” even though estimates are that the new global tax would increase the tax bill of every U.S. citizen (man, woman, and child) by $2,500."

Did anybody else see that clip on youtube of Terry McCaulliffe on CNN where he almost said New World Order? He got as far as New World and then quickly covered it up. It was kinda funny, then again it wasn’t since it is a serious issue.

If not indeed factual this is at least virtual treason.

Yeah, here’s the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynH8cWqDy3A

It’s bad quality, somebody apparently filmed it by using a camera phone pointed at a tv.

Small change, very small change.

Enough to offset the supposed savings acquired by his health care proposal (although this is a lie since everything in the medicine will get more expensive and be picked up by tax payers). So basically we’re screwed.

Thank you very much. Terry is one guy I hope goes down. Prolly one of the most underrated crook of our day.
