Ready For A Global Internet Tax?

The United Nations is proposing placing a global tax on internet usage in order to promote their wealth redistribution plans under the guise of the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations' public health arm, is moving full speed ahead with a controversial plan to impose global consumer taxes on such things as Internet activity and everyday financial transactions like paying bills online — while its spending soars and its own financial house is in disarray.

The aim of its taxing plans is to raise "tens of billions" of dollars for WHO that would be used to radically reorganize the research, development, production and distribution of medicines around the world, with greater emphasis on drugs for communicable diseases in poor countries.

They even admit that their first attempt at this went down in flames at the climate summit recently held in Copenhagen, but they are not about to give up. The Moochers of Turtle Bay are now turning into out and out robbers.

Frankly it scares the snot out of me because I don't trust our folks in Washington anymore. They seem have to have foregone any recognition of soveignity of the nation, you know, the United States of America. Instead they are filled with this kumbaya one world vision.

The UN is not content merely with taxing the internet either. Wrapped up in this crap sandwich are some other provisions designed to take money from the working folks and give it to others.

What truly concerns the experts, however, is how to get the wealth transfers that will make the R and D transfers possible — on a permanent basis. The panel offers up a specific number of possibilities.

Chief among them:
• a "digital" or "bit" tax on Internet activity, which could raise "tens of billions of U.S. dollars";
• a 10 percent tax on international arms deals, "worth about $5 billion per annum";
• a financial transaction tax, citing a Brazilian levy that was raising some $20 billion per year until it was canceled (for unspecified reasons);
• an airline tax that already exists in 13 countries and has raised some $1 billion.

Everybody is head over heels in love with this romanticized version of Robin Hood, where stealing from the rich to give to the needy is noble. The problem is they don't recognize that the 'rich' that Robin Hood was stealing from wasn't the peasants, but rather the tax collectors enroute back to the sheriff with the peasants money. That whole stealing from the rich theme loses some luster in that light, but the UN and governments all around the world for that matter, are doing exactly that. Some sort of perverse Robin Hood, where now the tax collectors are the good guys.

I am fed up with the UN and am ready to implement the Bolton strategy in regards to this corrupt organization. If the United States doesn't stand up to them, I hope somewhere there are some countries which will tell them just where to stick this plan. Somebody has to believe in the sovereignty of a nation.
