Who agrees that Obama's Global Poverty Act and the tax in the world is a code for socialism? http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles ...
Key excerpts:
We are citizens of the world, Senator Obama told thousands of Germans without the right to vote during his recent tour of the Middle East and Europe. And if the Act on poverty in the world (S. 2433), he has sponsored becomes law, which is almost certain if he wins in November, we will also be the world's taxpayers.
Speaking in Berlin, Obama said: "While the 20th century taught us that we share a common destiny, the 21st has revealed a world more interdependent than ever before in human history."
What the 20th century really showed was a series of totalitarian threat - from fascism to Nazism to Communism - defeated by the U.S. Army. Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy, Tojo's Japan and the Soviet Union offered destinies we did not share.
Our destiny of peace and freedom through strength was not achieved by a fantasy transnationalist to buy a Coke in the world and singing "Kumbaya".
Obama's Global Poverty Act offers us a global socialist destiny we do not want, one that challenges America's very sovereignty. The first "post-racial" candidate obviously intends to be a post-national president.

Obama would give everyone a fish without teaching them to fish. By committing to reduce global poverty by half over the backs of American taxpayers is a ridiculous and impossible goal.
The text refers to the objective of the Millennium Development Goals ", a phrase from a declaration adopted by the Millennium Assembly of the United Nations in 2000 and supported by President Clinton.
It calls for the eradication of poverty "in part because of the redistribution (of) wealth of land" and "equitable distribution of land resources." In other words: American resources.
It is a mantra of liberals that the U.S. is only a small part of the world's population yet consumes an unseemly portion of the resources of the planet's supposedly finite. Never mentioned the fact that the U.S. population, only 5% of the world total, also produces a stunning 27% of GDP in the world - with the huge advantage of other countries. However, their solution is to siphon the product of our free democracy and distribute.
We already transfer too much national wealth of the United Nations and its busybody agencies. The bill Obama would force taxpayers of the United States at the table more than 0.7% of our gross domestic product each year to fund a global war against poverty, spending well above the $ 16,300,000,000 Using the poverty in the world United States already spend.
During a period of 13 years, from 2002, when the United Nations Financing for Development held on the date to 2015, when the U.S. is expected to meet its share of Millennium UN, we would spend an additional $ 65 billion each year for a total of 845 billion dollars.
During a period of economic uncertainty, the plan would cost every American taxpayer around $ 2,500.
If you're worried about gasoline and heating oil prices will adjoin today, think what they will be like when the U.S. is under an Obama administration to global energy consumption and taxes production. Obama's Global Poverty Act is "the" international community foot in the door.
The Millennium Declaration called for a "tax money transfer," a "tax on the rental value of land and natural resources," a "royalty on worldwide fossil energy production - oil, natural gas, coal .. . Fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of airspace, charges for the use o.
