Here’s something that will get your morning off to a great star. Yeah, RIGHT.
The UN is always trying to find ways to get US (the United States, that is) to pay our “fair share” in their schemes for global government. Controlling the Internet was one plan. Cooking our books was another. Now there’s the plan for the imposition of ”international taxes,” courtesy of Paul Weyrich:

Among the $200 billion in new taxes which the UN is proposing to levy are: Taxes on air transport: this tax, Kincaid reports, was said to make “economic sense.” Taxes on aviation fuel: this tax was sold on the basis that it would have a positive impact upon the environment. Taxes on airline tickets: this tax, according to the UN, easily could be implemented because there is no legal obstacle, and it would generate $8 billion per annum.
The UN also seeks an indirect tax on air-flight corridors, which should generate $10 billion per annum, to be followed by an indirect tax on passenger transportation, to raise $20 billion per annum. An international currency tax would generate $60 billion. A tax on carbon emissions which at five cents per gallon of gasoline would bring in a whopping $130 billion per annum. There you have it: the UN proposal to tax us for the first $200 billion.
If the UN were not blocked in this clear usurpation of power the $200 billion would be only the beginning. The United States takes in about $2 trillion in taxes. Surely the UN can figure how to duplicate that amount.

Weyrich goes on to say that this plan would have the greatest chance of success if one of two things were to happen...and of course, the folks at Turtle Bay would be overjoyed if both occurred:
1) The Democrats regained control of both houses of Congress, and/or:
2) The Democrats regained the White House after the 2008 Election.
Today’s Democrats are a far cry from the Democrats of FDR, Harry S. Truman, and even John Fitzgerald Kennedy...and would gladly surrender our sovereignty to the UN. We MUST do EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR POWER to prevent this from happening.
