U.N.'s World Health Organization Eyeing Global Tax on Banking, Internet Activity

The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering a plan to ask governments to impose a global consumer tax on such things as Internet activity or everyday financial transactions like paying bills online.

Such a scheme could raise "tens of billions of dollars" on behalf of the United Nations' public health arm from a broad base of consumers, which would then be used to transfer drug-making research, development and manufacturing capabilities, among other things, to the developing world.

The multibillion-dollar "indirect consumer tax" is only one of a "suite of proposals" for financing the rapid transformation of the global medical industry that will go before WHO's 34-member supervisory Executive Board at its biannual meeting in Geneva.

I’ll go back to writing checks and paying in person before I give a DIME to those jackals.

[rbosque]

Ummm... The internet does not belong to them to tax. Only Congress can tax. BTW, the internet is OUR doing. P!ss on the UN!

[cripplecreek]

Well that should drive the world to isolationism.

[Oldpuppymax]

Incredible, though certainly NOT unbelievable.

Hey, Taxation without representation & taxes imposed by a foreign government. I here there were some problems with that back in the 1770s. Some of the original tea party members were involved. Are we going to have to throw wireless routers and ATMs into Boston harbor before this is over?

These people that slur the jews with money/power issues - it’s pure projection.

These leftist globalists are the most power-hungry control freaks I have ever seen.

The time is coming for revolution.....if this isn’t Unconstitutional, what is?

[unkus]

F**k you and the communist horse you rode in on. Get the hell out of my country, get back to the sh*thole you come from, and never come back. That’s not the door hitting you in the a$$ by the way, it’s my foot going Red Forman on it.

For this reason, they won’t dare. They cannot be this stupid. Oh wait ... maybe they can. This is just getting surreal.

I think there needs to be a popular vote referendum in every state that asks
1. should the UN building be demolished.
2. should the occupants be told beforehand?

[Ulysse]

Yes but now you have obaMAO the UN puppet !

[Red in Blue PA]

If they take my money with the implied threat of force behind it, that is perfectly legal.

But if I show up on the Capitol with a gun looking for real change, I am a criminal.

What would the Founders have thought of this situation?

They are rolling over in their graves.

[GonzoGOP]

Yes but now you have obaMAO the UN puppet

And all of the colonial governors were puppets of the king. It was a bartender, a silversmith and a bunch of their buddies who decided that the time for debate was over and the time for throwing stuff into the harbor had begun. If enough people show up in New York for the New York moving party, and proceed to throw the furniture from the UN building into Turtle Bay, we may be able to get our point across to the UN bureaucrats.

I just want folks to know that I'm not totally against the U.N. It's flag is still good for something.

We should take the first step by cutting off funding then throw the UN out of These United States. Why fund one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet!

Tax the world? Screw the UN and its collective pigs.
