Generally when someone holds forth about the U.N. taxing American citizen directly, you can be assured of some real weapons-grade paranoid ramblings. Still, there’s some stuff in this article by former Democrat operative Dick Morris that may be worth some pondering:
On the whole I’m dubious. Signing a treaty that would allow the U.N. to take money directly out of the pockets of American citizens would be political suicide. The question is whether there are enough leftists in the Senate who are either politically dimwitted enough to not understand that this would cost them their jobs or ideologically driven enough to not care (or to believe that this will make them heroes in this eyes of the voters) to support such treaties. Again, I’m dubious. First and foremost politicians of *every* stripe want, above all else, the power to dominate and control the little people… and this would end that power for them.
Lame ducks, however, might just support such things just out of spite.
