The UN Wants to Tax the World

Just ran across a policy paper outlining the UN's plan to get global taxation authority and appropriate $7 billion from the producers of the world.

Many of these global tax and spenders have even loftier goals.

The defenders of the tax, like Canada's Halifax Initiative, estimate that 150 to 300 billion dollars a year could be collected and earmarked for social and environmental programmes - sufficent, they say, to eliminate extreme poverty in the world in 10 years.

Two words for that: fat chance. And George Soros loves it, so there must be something wrong with it.
