we already have a global tax. It's called a tariff. That's why Bush should be working on more free trade deals instead of an ill-advised tariff on steel

"...we already have a global tax. It's called a tariff."

You're confused.

Tariff's are a duty imposed on imported goods by sovereign nations. As an example, Red China imposes up to a 40% tariff on some American made goods.

That's quite a difference from a global tax collected by an unelected foreign enity (the UN).

PS: Dubya has dumped Free Trade into the global garbage. Free Trade now resides along side that other Republican tenant, the minimum wage.

He done good...
