The World Health Organization is moving full speed ahead with a controversial plan to impose billions of dollars in global consumer taxes on such things as Internet activity and everyday financial transactions like paying bills online — while its spending soars and its own financial house is in disarray.

I dont know how to break this to you but that is a local tax not a 'global' tax. The global tax will be on top of that.

Thanks, that was blunt.

The whole thing sounds silly to me.

They never stop looking for ways to take money from poor people in "rich" (indebted) countries, and give it to rich people in poor countries.

Translation: Redistribution of wealth, out of western countries.

I say again, piss on the UN.

You know I looked, and I couldn't find mention of the UN or the WHO in The Constitution. Someone should tell them that.
