The United Nations just voted the chair of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (specializing in economic land and rural development) to Zimbabwe (inflation 2,200%!) AND, if that wasn't bad enough, The UN Disarmament Commission chair to Syria with Vice Chair going to Iran.
And we are paying for this? Yes, other nations pay as well, but like the income tax here at home, it is "Means" adjusted, so the good ole USA pays the lions share.
Is it any wonder that people around the world think we are stupid? Paying for an organization that rewards the failures and penalizes the productive but, obviously, feeble minded?

We should get out and ask the UN to leave NYC. Chavez has already offered them a place in Venezuela if they want to relocate. I think the belong there and not in the US.

We as a nation spend $498 billion per year on defense. That's about 10 times all other countries added. What does the UN cost a tax payer?. Under Republicans we now have a $9 trillion debt over the next ten years. What is that Birth tax on each American?
