Reason #3,641 to dismantle the UN

Memo to Kofi Annan: Go hump a goat, you corrupt fuck.

In July, Inter Presse news service reported that a top U.N. official was preparing a new study that will outline numerous global tax proposals to be considered by the General Assembly at its September meeting. The proposals will likely include everything from global taxes on e-mails and Internet use to a global gas tax and levies on airline travel. If adopted, American taxpayers could wind up paying hundreds of billions of dollars each year to the United Nations.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan is among those leading the charge, having stated that he "strongly supports finding new sources of funding" for the U.N. through global taxes, according to Inter Presse. In fact, Annan made very clear his support for the imposition of global taxes in a 2001 Technical Note that he authored for a U.N. conference. "The need to finance the provision of global public goods in an increasingly globalized world also adds new urgency to the need for innovative new sources of financing," Annan wrote.

I now yield the floor to the Heartless Libertarian.

No, Mr. Annan, you can't have any of our country's money. If any of your Third World buddies want to be as prosperous as America, they can do it the same way America did: by establishing a government based on the rule of law, protection of human rights, limitation of government power, and consent of the governed. Oh yeah, and judicious amounts of free market capitalism and hard work. You stupid socialist prick.

True dat!
