Obama Offers Climate Change Help to Other Nations

a reply to: ShadeWolf

We've already been the biggest contributor to the UN for many years. The current Prez wants to punish us for our affluence and make us pay for being Capitalist society.

Fact:

The U.S. has been the largest financial supporter of the U.N. since the organization’s founding in 1945. The U.S. is currently assessed 22 percent of the U.N. regular budget and more than 27 percent of the U.N. peacekeeping budget. In dollar terms, the Administration’s budget for FY 2011 requested $516.3 million for the U.N. regular budget and more than $2.182 billion for the peacekeeping budget.[2]
However, the U.S. also provides assessed financial contributions to other U.N. organizations and voluntary contributions to many more U.N. organizations. According to OMB, total U.S. contributions to the U.N. system were more than $6.347 billion in FY 2009.[3] This is more than $1 billion more than total contributions as compiled by OMB for FY 2005,[4] and it is indicative of the rising budgetary trends in the U.N. and the consequential demand on U.S. financial support.

What I see is more taxes on the American working class to pay for the global warming scam, after all the elite will not invest if is nothing back in return, they are already spending millions and millions on propaganda.

Another reason for the pushing to "help" poor countries is because they need as many countries in the bandwagon, as money for the carbon tax credit that US banks are ready to start trading including Bank of America since 2011.

The scam needs to get its feet out of the floor so the profits starts flowing.
