The latest annual moon-bat confab of global warming wackos is taking place in Rio where the idea of a global tax to funnel money directly to the corrupt and incompetent UN (and presumably the UN MDG agenda) has reared it’s ugly little head again.
In fact, one of the items on the negotiating table here at Rio+20 is a tax — ranging from 0.2 to 0.7 percent — on international financial transactions, which would generate billions of dollars per year, and would be sent directly to the United Nations.
President Obama, as then Senator Obama, wrote a bill to tax the entirely of the US GDP for the same purpose (here’s a related link), a plan embraced by all the globalist hunger and environmental front groups who would get a mouth at the trough. No idea whether it saw its shadow now that the idea has shifted to taxing international fiscal transactions. A shadowy sounding term that suggests the potential for mission creep into a global tax on commerce.
And seeing as Obama feels empowered to just make or change laws without bothering to wait for congress, jumping into a scheme or treaty that mirrors his own legislation is not out of the question. Why worry about the Constitution now that he’s violated it so many times already. Besides, he’s got the “Your a Racist get out of committing Treason” for free card.
(Just imagine what a Lame Duck Obama will try to do should we be so fortunate. This could easily be on his list.)
