A “Robin Hood” tax on financial transactions. Every time you buy or sell a stock or bond or exchange money while traveling, you'd be hit with a financial transactions tax, a percentage of your transaction, that would go to the U.N.
A global tobacco tax with the funds to flow to the World Health Organization (WHO).
A U.N.-imposed tax on billionaires all over the world. And don't delude yourself for a moment that it is only the 1,600 current billionaires who will be hit. Once the precedent of a U.N. tax on U.S. citizens is approved, it will gradually grow downwards to cover more and more Americans. Again, the funds will go to the U.N.
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 U.N.-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.
And where would the money go? To so-called less-developed countries. The taxes are part of a global plan of redistribution of wealth from the Northern Hemisphere (the U.S., Europe and Japan) to the Southern Hemisphere (Latin America, Africa and South Asia).
