While Obama was still a Senator one of the few bills he was pushing was the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433). This act gives authority to the United Nations authority to tax and impose laws on the United States. Since this wasn’t accomplished through legislative actions, Obama is now going to commit the U.S. through the United Nations. Obama wants to commit the US to a global tax of 0.7 percent of the US GDP.

Think of that. Obama wants to hand over control of almost 1 percent of the US GDP to a group of corruptocrats at the United Nations. The UN which is controlled by tyrants and theocrats who are salivating at the thought of adding to their pots of gold control of US taxpayer money under the guise of helping poverty in the world. Typical power grab by Obama and his totalitarian buddies of the UN.

U.N. to Emerge as Global IRS

The conference was postponed from June 1-3 and will now take place June 24-26 at the U.N. in New York. While the “outcome document” has been watered down somewhat from the previous version, it still reaffirms attainment of the U.N.’s Millennium Development Goals, which would require the payment of $845 billion from U.S. taxpayers. A commitment to the MDGs was a stated objective of the Global Poverty Act, which Barack Obama had introduced as a U.S. senator. It requires the U.S. to devote 0.7 percent of Gross National Income to foreign aid.

Now, as President, Obama can bypass the Congress and simply direct his Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice to approve the U.N. conference document. Then the pressure will be increased on Congress to come up with the money and satisfy our “international commitments.”

This is how Obama committed $108 Billion of US taxpayer dollars to international banks (IMF). He committed at the G-8 and then the Democrats attached an amendment to the Supplemental War Funding Bill. So, if the Republicans voted against the bill, it would look like they were voting against funding for the war.

The UN bureaurospeake for global taxes is now called: “Solidarity Levies”

The term “Solidarity Levies” is U.N.-speak for global taxes.

The Stiglitz document explains, “Some of the initiatives that have been proposed encompass ’solidarity levies’ or, more generally, taxation for global objectives. Some countries have already decreed solidarity levies on airline tickets but there is a larger set of proposals. There have also been suggestions to auction global natural resources-such as ocean fishing rights and pollution emission permits-for global environmental programs.”

It goes on to say, “The suggestion of taxes that could be earmarked for global objectives has a long history. To avert their being perceived as encroachments on participating countries’ fiscal sovereignty, it has been agreed that these taxes should be nationally imposed, but internationally coordinated.”

So the nations of the world, including the U.S., will collect the taxes but then turn them over to institutions such as the U.N. The world body will function, in effect, like a global IRS.

There are all sorts of global controls embedded with the UN Millennium Goals, none of which are good for the US. The UN Millennium Goals pretty usurp the US Constitution and US Sovereignty. Once approved by the Senate that’s it!
