Fine. Show me the grant of power in the Constitution which covers this. If you're going to claim it's covered in a treaty, show me which UN treaty requires foreign aid from the US and how much it requires.

I'll wait as long as it takes you to look it up.

Try to focus. The debate here is not whether US foreign aid is Constitutional (which is an interesting thesis), it's if you can consider that aid a global tax. And the answer is................of course not. The monies are given freely .

As for our dues to the UN, they're just that, dues to be part of a club. No tax there, either.
