The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 297
tax. This is exactly what they are planning.
A Global U.N. Tax
It is well known by U.N. watchers that the U.N. is planning a global tax but most
Americans are unaware. The global tax idea became public for the first time in March of 1995
when the idea was publicly proposed at the U.N. Summit for Social Development that was held
in Copenhagen, Denmark. A very reputable source on the U.N.’s quest for a world tax is U.S.
Representative Ron Paul. On March 25, 2002, in his column, “Texas Straight Talk,” he wrote:
“…the United Nations now wants to impose a whole new level of global taxes on us. He further
states: “The ultimate goal is an income tax, which will be imposed after we’ve all swallowed the
concept of UN taxing authority.” In the following excerpt, Representative Paul explains:
The UN is meeting this week in Monterrey, Mexico to discuss exactly
such a tax. The meeting is billed as a “Conference on Financing for
Development,” which is a nice way of saying it’s a conference to consider the
best ways to shake down rich nations for money. UN bureaucrats think rich
nations like America ought to give more money to poor nations- a lot more-
simply because we’re rich. Never mind the billions of foreign aid tax dollars we
send overseas every year; never mind the billions donated to overseas charities by
Americans, the most charitable people on earth. The UN mindset blames the
western world for poverty everywhere, assuming that our relative wealth must
have come at the expense of the third world. The poor countries themselves are
never deemed responsible for their own predicaments, despite their often corrupt
governments, lack of property rights, and hostility toward wealth-producing
capitalism. Somehow, it’s always our fault. So the UN holds conferences to talk
about how we should pay to make things right, and the idea of a UN tax naturally
arises.
The most probable tax to be imposed first is the “Tobin tax,” so named
after the Yale professor who proposed it. The tax would be imposed on all
international currency transaction in the world. The best estimates are that it will
raise approximately $1.5 trillion dollars a year for the U.N.
Other taxes are being considered as well. Their dozens of proposals under
consideration that include the taxing of individuals, corporations, and
international business activities. Some of the specific proposals include the taxing
of “aviation traffic and freight, ocean freight and cruises, aviation fuel,
telecommunications frequencies, communications satellites, international postal
items, and trade in goods and services.”
