ORIGINAL: popeye1250 This also does not include the Obama World Poverty Act, which requires an addtional $845 BILLION in spending to go to the UN. It is S.2433 and mandates 0.7% of the US GNP, along with a bunch of other fun stuff. Take a look if you get a chance. My simple question is, how are these things going to be paid for, as it is obvious that taxing the "wealthy" is not going to cover it? The Obama World Poverty Act? He wants to give the "U.N." $845 Billion "MORE" of *our money?* The "poor" are getting very little of the "foreign aid" money now, it's eaten up by corporations, lobbyists and lawyers. What about "The Poor" in this country? And, many Americans want OUT of the "U.N." not to give them another dime of our money! See? I've been saying that Obama is a *Global Socialist* and this proves it! But what do people expect from the most Leftist senator in Washington? It's not the job description of U.S. Taxpayers to "decrease poverty" in "the world!" We need to END all this "foreign aid" nonsense once and for all! The NY Times in 1999 I believe said that ,"under the Clinton Administration the "U.N." has ammassed a $30B "pension fund." Does that mean that U.S. Taxpayers are paying for the PENSIONS of foreign "diplomats? "Cum-bay-ah,.....Cum-bay-ah!" Afternoon Popeye, Is this the first you have heard about it? It makes for interesting reading, and I recommend that everybdoy do a search and read it. It might actually make some a bit happier, as it also allows the UN to decide what small arms are capable of being manufactured and sold here in the US. http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-global-tax-proposal-up-for-senate-vote/ http://obama.senate.gov/press/071211-obama_hagel_can/ quote:
"In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration commits nations to banning 'small arms and light weapons' and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child," he wrote. I will let folks do their own research on this one, form your own opinions, and choose to embrace, ignore, or oppose it.
