wish I'd read this about two years ago...only took about six months to figure out, though...

U.N. Tax Authority

this from Fox

My fav: "High-tax countries like France have long lamented their loss of human and financial resources to lower-taxed nations like the United States. An international tax agency would thus work to reduce such "tax competition" between nations."

number 1: What do we care what the French think?
number 2: Since when is the U.S. a low tax country? This is an obvious tactic of trying to set the relative bar higher than it needs to be.
number 3: would this agency be performing collution, or "price-fixing"? Isn't this the exact same thing the U.S. accused oil companies of when gas got up to like $1.75/gallon that one time?
number 4: What the fuck do we care what the French think?

What happened to "No Taxation Without Representation?" I don't rememeber casting a vote for the U.N., and I sure don't remember voting for Kofi Annan

UPDATE: Samizdata has a great post that makes a nice afterthought
