"So don't tell me I won't be paying a global tax."

It's NOT a global tax. It's a decision your elected representative make to try and improve the geopolitical climate. I've always been a critic against much of our foreign aid. But if the funds are managed and distributed by the US in return for reasonable reform from those who get it, I'm all for it. It's nothing more than asking welfare recipients to do a little work for their check, which I'm in favor of.

Give away your money. Give away his money. Get your hands off MY money. I don't share your collective guilt complex.

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.
