The Power Mad UN
The United Nation thinks it has the right to impose an income tax on the residents of sovereign nations. The audacity of that belief is chilling. The UN is the most bureaucratic, ineffective, and institutionally corrupt legislative body in world history. Can anyone imagine what type of precedent that would set.
