At least United Nations officials are transparent about their goals to redistribute wealth on a global scale. According to several U.N. leaders, health care, education, housing, water and sanitation, among other services, are basic human rights, equivalent to the rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” To ensure these rights, these U.N. higher-ups want to institute a global tax. The Deseret News reports:
Thankfully, the United Nations doesn’t really have the authority to institute this type of tax without the agreement of its member nations, but these sorts of schemes that blatantly favor central planning over grass-roots development initiatives that are more effective anyway make me wonder: What does the United States gain by its membership in the United Nations? Consider: In 2010, the United States gave $7.7 billion to the United Nations system — and for what return? Wouldn’t that money have been better spent on more concentrated international development efforts? The United Nations — an unaccountable bureaucracy — repeatedly proves itself corrupt and inefficient, yet leaders of the most respectable nations in the world continue to pay court to despots and dictators at U.N. headquarters. Why?

This is just a way to get the UN globalTax foot in the door. $40B will not do one thing to help the world's poor. They do better to depend upon charity.

Help the poor, right! All they want to do is enrich themselves--if the UN wants money, let them do a bake sale.

Naah, they'll just print their own.

Billym -

Thanks for the post, I had not heard of the effort. Personally, I would prefer to un-fund any portion of the UN activities with taxpayer funds!

Maybe we could get a mod to move this to OWG topic...
