The UN is draining the US economy disproportionally
« on: March 17, 2010, 12:29:38 PM »
Here is just one example:

"The U.S. is the largest contributor to U.N. peacekeeping, paying 27 percent of the worldwide tab more than double the rate of the next-highest contributor, Japan — which the U.N. estimated to reach $7.9 billion for the 12 months ending on June 30, 2010. The five members of the U.N. Security Council — the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China — pay nearly half of the total (China pays just under 4 percent), while 32 other, predominately Western countries pay nearly the same amount".

If the Chinese are the economic superpower in the world, why are we expected to contribute 7 times the funds they are.  It's BS.  The UN is crap.

The US is also the biggest debtor to the UN as well, refusing to pay the enormous tab it has racked up in fines for the many condemnations they have received over infractions and contraventions of International laws, some of which they themselves initiated, as well as their many documented human rights abuses around the world.
