No, no, no, it's Pax America, not Tax America. These guys have been hitting the after-dinner cigars and sherry a little too hard.

What about the constitutionality of a global tax? A treaty cannot give the US government powers that it does not have under the Constitution.

Uh...it would also discourage international investment worldwide, which is the best and sometimes the only hope small, developing countries have of bootstrapping themselves into prosperity. Taxing an activity discourages it, or redirects the funds normally flowing to that activity to a higher-yielding one elsewhere. It's all fine and dandy to use this ruse to skim the global market for funds to apply to international organizations' latest passions, but in doing so they're quite literally taking food from the mouths of developing nations.
Will they try to make up for it by giving these countries direct aid? If they do they are once again trying to improve on a free market by substituting a command economy with a heavy overhead attached to it, a system that broke every Iron Curtain country that ever tried it, which was all of them. Dumb, dumb, dumb...

I'd be worried if the fact was that the leaders of these two nations weren't such weak-knee panzies. If they don't want our business, there are a ton of Asians, Africans, South Americans, and Eastern Europeans chomping at the bits for some juicy contracts. We should have let Stalin have Germany and France.

i agree, treaties have to be under the authority of the united states and constituion, and only congress has the ability ot tax its citizens.

This is all just a symptom of these organizations and Nations realization of how unimportant they really are
Good thing they are all talk and no ability to act.

Violation of WTO.
If they want us to quit, then we will.
Iraq had sanctions, and yet they seem to have made a ton of money in the last 12 years.
Let's stop selling our food to other countries and see how they like it.
To: Tailgunner Joe
Yes, I do believe Americans are in the mood to pay additional taxes as authorized by the Franco-German Alliance. ROFLOL!!!
To: Tailgunner Joe
"Well, boys, I recken we orta swing by Paris and

Four hours later:
"Yahoo!!!!"
20 seconds later:
Payment delivered.

I'm sure we won't need a nuke for Belgium; or is that still considered part of France?

When the Iraq war is over, we need to have a serious discussion about the costs of "globalization".
It is unprecedented-and it may be impossible-to have commercial interests as far-flung as ours are (and to protect them) without a Roman-style military to look out for them all.
The degree of involvement we now have with a world that lusts for socialism may be a mistake.
To: Tailgunner Joe
They, the EU, had their hopes planned on the approval of the Kyoto Treaty which would have allowed the UN to tax the US and regulate manufacturing. President Bush saved us all from that, but the Watermelons are not happy. Environmentalism is the religion of governmetns.
To: Billthedrill
Dumb, dumb, dumb. No one ever said the left was intelligent. This is precisely what they plan to do. This is precisely what the Clintons were working toward. Sidney Blumenthal described this in an article, during the height the impeachment, to be Clinton's agenda. We all know that it is Hillary's as well.
