Obama's "Global" Tax?

Obama's Global Tax Plan (UN control warning)
Newsmax ^ | 8/26/08 | James H. Walsh


"I speak to you not as a candidate for President but as a citizen — a proud citizen of the United States and a fellow citizen of the world."

— Barack Obama, Berlin, July 24, 2008

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is also a proud globalist and self-proclaimed agent of change.

As the Democratic National Convention begins in Denver, many still ponder just what kind of change Obama has in mind for the country. His sponsorship of the Global Poverty Act, and more recently his Berlin speech, are prime examples.

Peppered with "one-world" phrases such as “people of the world,” “global and globalization,” and “this is our time,” Obama’s speech delivered in Berlin on July 24, 2008, described the nation he desires to lead as an “imperfect union.” The candidate thus violated an unwritten rule of not criticizing our country outside the United States. _________________________________________________________

The first bill sponsored by a new U.S. senator speaks volumes on his or her political philosophy. The first bill sponsored by Barack Obama, the Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S.2433), would impose a global tax of 0.7 percent of gross national product (GNP) on the United States.

Estimates are that the Obama bill could cost the United States a total of $845 billion above current spending on foreign aid.

Obama sponsored the bill, which has 23 liberal co-sponsors. Led by U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Obama’s pick for vice-president, the co-sponsors include three Republicans: Richard Lugar, R-Ind., Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and Gordon Smith, R-Ore.

The bill incorporates the Millennium Development Goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000), which were developed at the United Nations Millennium Summit.
