Is the "great experiment " known as the United States coming to an end? Has it already happened and we just don't realize it? It may already too late!

In second term, Obama will allow UN to tax Americans
It should come as no surprise that President Obama will raise taxes if he is re-elected. But here’s the shocker: He will invite the United Nations to tax Americans directly. And the proceeds would go directly to the Third World. In this way, Barack Obama will, indeed, realize the dreams of his father. There are pending in the U.N. all kinds of plans to tax Americans and redistribute their wealth – not to other Americans – but to other countries. These taxes will not be like our U.N. dues paid by a vote of our Congress. Nor akin to foreign aid which we choose to give. They would be mandatory levies imposed by treaty on American citizens. And, since they would be enumerated in a Treaty – not an act of Congress -- only the president and the Democratic Senate need be on board. The Republican House has no role in the Treaty-making process.Here is what Obama, and his backers with the UN are planning for us:
- A “Robin Hood” tax on financial transactions. Every time you buy or
sell a stock or a bond or exchange money while travelling, you’d be hit
with a financial transactions tax (a percentage of your transaction)
that would go to the UN.
- A global tobacco tax with the funds to flow to the World Health Organization (WHO).
- A UN-imposed tax on billionaires all over the world. And don’t
delude yourself for a moment that it is only the 1600 current
billionaires who will be hit. Once the precedent of a UN tax on US
citizens is approved, it will gradually grow downwards to cover more and
more Americans. Again the funds will go to the UN.
- 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 UN-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.
- These taxes are, of course, only the first steps. Once the principle is established of UN taxation of American citizens, the sky is the limit.
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 (US, Europe, Japan) to the Southern Hemisphere (Latin America, Africa, and South Asia).
But don’t think that this flow of wealth will reduce poverty. Foreign aid doesn’t work. It really just puts a pot of money on the table in third world countries that automatically goes to whoever controls the presidential palace. Coups, civil wars, revolutions, and all sorts of violence usually ensue as various factions, tribes, or ethnic groups try to get their hands on the money. Real reduction in poverty can come only through foreign direct investment and trade, not via massive exports of northern hemisphere wealth to countries controlled by corrupt oligarchs.
Even a victory in the election of 2012 may avert the threat of rampant globalism. Obama and his lame duck Senate will sign and try to ratify a broad range of global treaties to give away our sovereignty and expose us to UN taxation.
This is a warning call to saving our freedom while we still can!
