I just read this , this morning. I don't know how true it is but I am curious to hear other peoples thoughts on this.
For starters, is this true or not and if so, what does this do for American sovereignty and Americans freedom.
According to Dick Morris,
President Obama will raise taxes if he is re-elected.
He will invite the United Nations to tax Americans directly. And the proceeds would go directly to the Third World
Now pending in the U.N. all kinds of plans to tax Americans and redistribute their wealth – not to other Americans – but to other countries. These taxes will not be like our U.N. dues paid by a vote of our Congress. Nor akin to foreign aid which we choose to give. They would be mandatory levies imposed by treaty on American citizens. And, since they would be enumerated in a Treaty – not an act of Congress -- only the president and the Democratic Senate need be on board. The Republican House has no role in the Treaty-making process.
•A “Robin Hood” tax on financial transactions. Every time you buy or sell a stock or a bond or exchange money while travelling, you’d be hit with a financial transactions tax (a percentage of your transaction) that would go to the UN.
•A global tobacco tax with the funds to flow to the World Health Organization (WHO).
•A UN-imposed tax on billionaires all over the world. And don’t delude yourself for a moment that it is only the 1600 current billionaires who will be hit. Once the precedent of a UN tax on US citizens is approved, it will gradually grow downwards to cover more and more Americans. Again the funds will go to the UN.
•Under the Law of the Sea Treaty – up for Senate ratification in December of the lame duck session – offshore oil and gas wells would have to pay a proportion of their revenues to the International Seabed Authority, a UN-sponsored organization, which would distribute the loot to the third world.
•A carbon tax on all U.S. or other foreign commercial or passenger aircraft flying to Europe. Nominally to fight climate change, these revenues would also go to the third world.
•A mandatory assessment to be imposed on the U.S. to compensate third world nations for the costs of reducing their carbon output.
•These taxes are, of course, only the first steps. Once the principle is established of UN taxation of American citizens, the sky is the limit

Originally posted by utherpendragonHillary Clinton is pushing for the UN Tax, this is a matter of public record, not just conjecture. If the liberals want to see the country torn apart, let them proceed down this avenue.
So, you are saying this is not true ? There are no plans for a UN tax through treaty ?
Originally posted by utherpendragonI'm sure someone is making plans for that somewhere. This however

"President Obama will raise taxes if he is re-elected.

Seems like someone who is on crack would say.
Originally posted by utherpendragonThere are no plans by any senior US politicians, nor do these plans have any chance whatsoever of becoming reality within the next couple of decades. People saying that Obama (or Clinton) are planning to tax US citizens through the UN are either retarded or cynically trying to make money by selling books to retarded people. Obama couldn't possibly have a reason for wanting to have the UN tax American citizens, nor will such a proposal (granting taxation authority to the UN) ever be accepted by any significant majority of UN members.

I think there are plenty of ways we could be taxed and not even know it. If the United States taxes us more for income, tobacco, fuel, etc... and then hands over the money we would never know. It could be given away as bailout money and they wouldn't have to say a word to the public. I have found some older info on the internet that confirms that the UN is planning global taxation. I am not sure that the UN is any worse than the Federal Reserve. We have been forking over money to those unelected leeches for some time now. The floride heads would probably go along with it and have satisfaction that somehow they are helping the world.

Okay, so let me get this straight. US politicians are somehow evil enough to attack their own citizens and kill 3000 of them, yet they are somehow so generous and kind that they would be willing to secretly push through hugely unpopular measures just to "help the third world"?
This doesn't answer your question but is a good insight to the effects of 911. If nothing else, you may agree the lady is very good looking. She is so good looking that FMF will probably head for the nearest bathroom and toss his cookies. Anyway there is some info for ya.
There's a reason why this is in the opinion section. And it's not the usual reason. Obama is either going to or not going to try and levy these taxes, it is not a matter of opinion, but by putting it there Faux Noise has the it was only an opinion excuse at the ready
