Would Obama Agree to the UN taxing the US Directly

**Juan** · 10-09-2012, 08:04 AM

there is 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.

Here is what we say in "Black Helicopters" that Obama, Hillary, and the UN are planning for us:

•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.

Of course he would

That link is garbage. Sure the UN would love that but where is the evidence that Obama (and Hillary who the author dragged in for some reason) would support that?

The evidence is literally Dick Morris' conjecture (hence the Hillary mention). In the linked column his only cited source is, hilariously, his own book.

Marxists are internationalists and they do not respect national borders, sovereignty, etc.

BamBam told us in his own words .. ""We can't drive our SUVs and, you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on, you know, 72 degrees at all times, whether we're living in the desert or we're living in the tundra, and then just expect every other country is going to say OK, you know, you guys go ahead keep on using 25 percent of the world's energy, even though you only account for 3 percent of the population, and we'll be fine. Don't worry about us. That's not leadership."

What does this quote have to do with Obama supporting a plan to have the UN tax US citizens? What evidence is there that he would support that? Do you agree with the article that the president can authorize that without approval from congress and the courts?

Guys, I heard Obama is giving the keys to the White House to Ban Ki-Moon as we speak! It's the New World Order Lyndon LaRouche has been talking about for years, but no one believed him just because he was an unreliable crank! Hurry, get into the OverreactionMobile, we might still have time!

Did you hear about the requirement to send your first born child to a developing nation to be used as slave labor?

Which requires 67 votes for treaties, per the Constitution.

I don't see one vote for this, let alone 51-52 Dem votes + 15 GOP votes. But you don't peddle in conspiracy theories, right? "laff"

**thoth** · 10-09-2012, 11:48 AM

Guys Ban Ki-Moon is in the white house now and is driving the presidential rocket car all over washington ruining everything! He said he's going to make being gay mandatory and also make america illegal and censor old episodes of "all in the family" to make it PC!!!! This is hope and change well you can keep youre change buddie

Is it possible to disagree with Obama without all of this ridiculousness? He's a communist. A socialist. A Muslim. Not an American citizen. This kind of stuff makes Obama's opposition sound like total quacks. If you are against Obama, can't you use REAL arguments and logic? Not these absurd conspiracy theories.

By the way, that Fox News article is not news, but sensationalism on par with the National Enquirer, et. al.

Does he espouse the notion or morality of capitalism?

He has been president of the USA for four years .. he should have a laundry list of legislation that enhances capitalism and freedom and liberty in general.
Can you list them for US?

How can anyone write this and claim to have any shred of intellectual honesty..

**AbortedWalrus** · 10-09-2012, 01:20 PM

Every time I visit this forum it seems there is a thread that is even more deprived of any form of common sense than the last time I was here. It's like a black hole where common sense and intellect go to die.

So prove me wrong and give me the laundry list.

Why don't you give a laundry list proving the opposite first, since you're the one who brought up the claim that he doesn't first. Oh wait, we've asked you to do something similar in dozens of threads and you haven't as of yet.
