    Obama’s Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote

    AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 12, 2008

    It appears the Senate version is being pushed not only by Biden and Obama, a member of the committee, but Lugar, the ranking Republican member.

    A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

    Senator Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has not endorsed either Senator Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. But on Thursday, February 14, he is trying to rush Obama's "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433) through his committee. The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.

    The bill, which is item number four on the committee's business meeting agenda, passed the House by a voice vote last year because most members didn't realize what was in it. Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require. According to the website of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, no hearings have been held on the Obama bill in that body.

    A release from the Obama Senate office about the bill declares, "In 2000, the U.S. joined more than 180 countries at the United Nations Millennium Summit and vowed to reduce global poverty by 2015. We are halfway towards this deadline, and it is time the United States makes it a priority of our foreign policy to meet this goal and help those who are struggling day to day."

    The legislation itself requires the President "to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day."

    The bill defines the term "Millennium Development Goals" as the goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000).

    The U.N. says that "The commitment to provide 0.7% of gross national product (GNP) as official development assistance was first made 35 years ago in a General Assembly resolution, but it has been reaffirmed repeatedly over the years, including at the 2002 global Financing for Development conference in Monterrey, Mexico. However, in 2004, total aid from the industrialized countries totaled just $78.6 billion-or about 0.25% of their collective GNP."

    In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration commits nations to banning "small arms and light weapons" and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

    The Millennium Declaration also affirms the U.N. as "the indispensable common house of the entire human family, through which we will seek to realize our universal aspirations for peace, cooperation and development."

    Jeffrey Sachs, who runs the U.N.'s "Millennium Project," says that the U.N. plan to force the U.S. to pay 0.7 percent of GNP in increased foreign aid spending would add $65 billion a year to what the U.S. already spends. Over a 13-year period, from 2002, when the U.N.'s Financing for Development conference was held, to the target year of 2015, when the U.S. is expected to meet the "Millennium Development Goals," this amounts to $845 billion. And the only way to raise that kind of money, Sachs has written, is through a global tax, preferably on carbon-emitting fossil fuels.

    Obama's bill has only six co-sponsors. They are Senators Maria Cantwell, Dianne Feinstein, Richard Lugar, Richard Durbin, Chuck Hagel and Robert Menendez. But it appears that Biden and Obama see passage of this bill as a way to highlight Democratic Party priorities in the Senate.

    The House version (H.R. 1302), sponsored by Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), had only 84 co-sponsors before it was suddenly brought up on the House floor last September 25 and was passed by voice vote. House Republicans were caught off-guard, unaware that the pro-U.N. measure committed the U.S. to spending hundreds of billions of dollars.

    It appears the Senate version is being pushed not only by Biden and Obama, a member of the committee, but Lugar, the ranking Republican member. Lugar has worked with Obama in the past to promote more foreign aid for Russia, supposedly to stem nuclear proliferation, and has become Obama's mentor. Like Biden, Lugar is a globalist. They have both promoted passage of the U.N.'s Law of the Sea Treaty, for example.

    The so-called "Lugar-Obama initiative" was modeled after the Nunn-Lugar program, also known as the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program, which was designed to eliminate weapons of mass destruction in the former Soviet Union. But one defense analyst, Rich Kelly, noted evidence that "CTR funds have eased the Russian military's budgetary woes, freeing resources for such initiatives as the war in Chechnya and defense modernization." He recommended that Congress "eliminate CTR funding so that it does not finance additional, perhaps more threatening, programs in the former Soviet Union." However, over $6 billion has already been spent on the program.

    Another program modeled on Nunn-Lugar, the Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP), was recently exposed as having funded nuclear projects in Iran through Russia.

    More foreign aid through passage of the Global Poverty Act was identified as one of the strategic goals of InterAction, the alliance of U.S-based international non-governmental organizations that lobbies for more foreign aid. The group is heavily financed by the U.S. Government, having received $1.4 million from taxpayers in fiscal year 2005 and $1.7 million in 2006. However, InterAction recently issued a report accusing the United States of "falling short on its commitment to rid the world of dire poverty by 2015 under the U.N. Millennium Development Goals..."

    It's not clear what President Bush would do if the bill passes the Senate. The bill itself quotes Bush as declaring that "We fight against poverty because opportunity is a fundamental right to human dignity." Bush's former top aide, Michael J. Gerson, writes in his new book, Heroic Conservatism, that Bush should be remembered as the President who "sponsored the largest percentage increases in foreign assistance since the Marshall Plan..."

    Even these increases, however, will not be enough to satisfy the requirements of the Obama bill. A global tax will clearly be necessary to force American taxpayers to provide the money.

    Co-sponsors: Dick Durban, main proponent of the "Dream Act" to give in-state college tuition to illegal alien students nationally; Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, who, although elected as a Republican, more often votes with the Democrats; Robert Mendendez (D-NJ), who held reauthorization of E-Verify by the Senate hostage to attached legislation which would have authorized granting hundreds of thousands of new legal immigrant visas each year, etc..

    This is all so true.

    However, I have an opinion about the NWO and all. As for the scanning, all it takes is the scan of your retina, or thumbprint (in the hand and forehead), which seems to be the most plausible modern interpretation of Johns vision.

    I believe that with all of this talk from greed corrupted governments, and the people of many nations will be against it all, it may take time before they can get around us all. I do believe something this big and awful will take a great deal of time and we do still have some time.

    I guess what I am saying is this. Things will have to become terribly awful and unbearable for the people of America and the world (famine, disease or lack of medical care, drought, and even uncontrolled crime), to accept what they (and ultimately the Anti-Christ) propose. I think that with the people not accepting it all, the governments will either lose control, or, they will intentionally allow things to go terribly bad, so we will accept this all. Right now, things are just beginning.

    If anything I trust McCain alot more to work to keep the "freedoms" and more rights as a our own nation inside of this. I expect that Obama would go all the way and give total control of us to the UN over in a new york second. But lets pray tha McCain will become a nationalize tell the transies to jump in a river.

    Another reason we do not want to be part of this even "if" they hold global elections is we only are about 4.477% of the people on earth.

    300,000,000/6,700,000,000 or about 4.77%. This means we would not hold much power in this anyways.

    Lets say it is a 10,000 member global senate, that is only 477 members for us. The muslims are 1,000,000,000 or 14.925% or 1,492.5 seats in this global senate for islamic countries.

    China has a 1.3 or so billion 1940.29 seats, being that India is close those countrys would hold the most power inside a global government. If it is anything like the European system of prime minister they will likely(Asian nations) be able to form the global government with a lot of help. This being if it is the european model of government like the UK. Canadian. They would take our money away from us.

    I'm assuming that they would take a system that would account for the numbers of people in each nation like we do with states in our elections.

    It would not be good for us, we would be over ruled by thugs almost always. In assuming that about half of 477 members won't care about this country in the first place, it is scarely thought.

    Africa being a poor third world place has 800 million people or around 11.9% or 1,194 between 53 african nations. We may have a few friends out of them that might help us out. But pretty much sucks. The Eu or its 27 nations wold hold 6.7%/671 seats, some of them woudl join with us to try to fight for freedom, a unwinnable fight, but if we got into this mess we would try. We would have next to no power inside of this.

    This is a strong case against a global government.
