Two Cow Politics
Socialism : You have two cows. You keep one and give one
to your neighbor.
Communism : You have two cows. The government takes them
Both and provides you with milk.
Fascism : You have two cows. The government takes them and
sells you the milk.
Bureaucracy : You have two cows. The government takes them
Both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and
Then pours it down the drain.
Capitalism : You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
Corporate: You have two cows. You sell one, force the other to
produce the milk of four cows and then act surprised
When it drops dead.
Democracy : You have two cows. The government taxes you
To the point that you must sell them both in order to
support a man in a in a foreign country who has only one cow
All of the above?

Obama government: You're not allowed to own any Cows.
However, You will be taxed so that the Government can buy 2 Cows for less fortunate folks. You will also pay an additional Tax in order to provide health care for the two Cows. ~$heopleNation

As for those equating this to welfare for the thrid world, that is rather laughable. Funding operations in order to ensure that many developing countries have the adquate resources to feed the starving dosen't equate to welfare, but rather humanitarianism.

I give a 1 finger salute to this idea. If memory serves, they tried this proposal back in 03 on a global scale. You already have DC sending out money everywhere just to have a say in what these countries are doing.
""In a resolution, the Republican National Committee made clear its objection to “three global taxes and a global monetary governance mechanism to raise $400 billion a year to aid developing countries.""

I think I have a worthy compromise, we, the US pulls out of the un and kicks the organization off of our soil and they can provide their own troops!
I see a win/win here.
Without the US supporting these blood-money fatcats, there would be no UN. Read the Book of Revelations in the Holy Bible to see what happens next. What's happening now is in there too.edit on 24-8-2012 by GoldenRuled because: (no reason given)

The US ambassador to the UN is not an elected official but an appointed post, so the above is true, and that if I recall started our nations first rebellion against a corrupt government.edit on 25-8-2012 by benrl because: (no reason given)

It seems to me America has been "represented" fairly well by Roosevelt's New World Order - the problem is America doesn't like paying for that spot on centre stage.

Doesn't like paying for a spot on center stage? Are you serious? Then why is it when TSHTF we are the 1st to respond? Why is it America is the top charitable contributor on the planet? We've paid and paid and paid again, many times with our blood and treasure.

I can't believe people haven't got to the point where they're writing 'Obama government doesn't have the right to give or take American cows because he wasn't born in America' yet. Still, give the thread time.
