Jack Iraq Wants an International Tax

From The Australian:

FRENCH President Jacques Chirac made a new call today for an "international tax", saying such a levy would help generate funds to help poor countries and those hit by disasters such as the Asian tsunami.

"These events stress the need to increase public aid towards development and to find innovative financing mechanisms such as an international taxation," Mr Chirac said in a New Year speech to the Paris diplomatic corps.

He said France would press the international tax idea this year at meetings of the Group of Eight - the G7 rich countries plus Russia - and at the United Nations, but gave no details of his proposals.
...
Mr Chirac made the tax proposal at a meeting of the Group of Eight - the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Canada and Russia - last year but won little support from the other powers for the idea.

A working group appointed by Mr Chirac suggested in a report last year that such taxes could be levied on arms sales, financial transactions, company profits and fares for air and sea travel.

However, Mr Chirac has ruled out the so-called Tobin Tax on foreign exchange transactions as impractical.

Not interested. Not even remotely interested. The United Nations was never intended to be a world government...it wouldn't be wise to try and make it such. As we have seen, and the Diplomads have provided witness to, the UN can't even act quickly in disaster situations.

Islamofascism Delenda Est!
