ROFL rock on!

[rdb3]

The next time France needs our help we should tell them that we first must consult the UN's security council, where we, the USA, will veto any aid we, the USA, propose to give you.

Intentional circular-reasoning.

I love it! ;-)

TAX THIS JER-AUK

[goldstategop]

Dear Jack, you're not fit to bash American capitalism and take money out of the pockets of those who worked hard for it to those who don't deserve it and I have in mind especially your Third World dictator and warlord crony friends. Oh and Jack - if it weren't for the Uniyed States Of America, you'd still be licking Kraut boots.

WHERE'S AL GORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gitmo]

Fruck the fench.

?

on carbon dioxide...
Levied by whom?

What do you think the Kyoto Treaty is about? Countries that don't have to abide yet have "CO2 credits" which they will sell to countries who need them (read the U.S.)

It's just another redistribution of our wealth to other countries.

The thing that really chaps my hide is that countries like China get a pass on Kyoto (look it up)

If a poor man asks for my help. I'll help him to the best of my ability. If someone puts a gun in my face and orders me to give said poor man my money, we've got a problem. When the big man with the gun orders me to give him the money, then he'll give the poor guy the scraps after he takes his cut, myself and the poor man are most likely both getting f*cked. When the big man with the gun does this supercession of national sovereignty, stop paying, lock, load, and start shooting.

At this point, the only thing France could possibly do that would surprise me, is win a war.
Or bathe.

Nah. I've met some French folks who actually bathed. Never met any French who won a war.

[Lion's Cub]

Actually, we already pay a "world tax" now in the form of all the billions we've "contributed" to the UN. Time for a New York tea party...

[FreedomCalls]

It could be a tax on airplane tickets, on carbon dioxide...

Levied by whom? There are, after all, no carbon dioxide meters distributed worldwide...my guess is that it would be levied according to some environmentalist's estimate, and would be targeted at Guess Who. They're gonna ram the Kyoto Extortion Protocols through by any means necessary...

I wonder how much tax they would levy on Cameroon? After all the "environmentalist" scientists are venting from Lake Nyos over 300 million cubic meters of carbon dioxide and over 10 million cubic meters of CO2 from Lake Monoun. I guess there is no hysteria about "greenhouse gasses" as applied to CO2 coming from a poor third world country.

Yer blowin' my stereotypin', man. ;-)

[cidrasm]

Sorry! Does it help that they bathed in perfume? Closest thing to clean water they have.

[Rome2000]

One is that financial markets would simply move to those countries that chose not to apply the tax.

Freedom will be a fond memory if these leftist perverted socialist crooks are not stopped cold.

[P8riot]

Come on and try and collect

647 grains at a time.

[Mulder]

Come on and try and collect

There are more than a few Americans who share your sentiments.

Nice pic, BTW.

[johnboy]

Time to invade France! LOL

you guys crazy? what if we win?(like there's some question). we'll never be rid of 'em.

[VaBthang4]

Dont laugh.....this is gonna be the next ICC or Kyoto Accord.

[rmmcdaniell]

Yeah great idea. Some middle class family in america is not going to be able to send thier kids to college so that the money can go to some third-world rathole to be used for the funding of yet another despot's presidential palace or land distribution scheme.

[lavaroise]

Who says world tax says world army. The poor may get a job as cannon fodder for the UN, but that is about it. You see, they cannot inherently be accountable or viable institutions, so the only way they can gain "popularity" is through proselytized demagogic recruitment of the "discontented".

This world government is giving itself rights and proselytizing before it even applologize for its own existence as the founding fathers did , under G_d.
