countries must take bold leadership now to pave the way towards what should eventually be a global FTT. 3
The UN doesn’t hide its goal, income redistribution, noting that “it is high time that governments re-examine the basic redistributive role of taxation to ensure that wealthier individuals and the financial sector contribute their fair share of the tax burden.” 4
The demerits of the global tax aside, the idea that an international entity—the EU, the UN, or the G-20 group of nations—would impose a tax on American citizens and banks is outrageous. Our most fundamental sovereign right is the power of Congress to tax us. Ever since the Magna Carta, the principle has been honored in democracies of “no taxation without representation.” To backslide on this rule in order to line the pockets of third world dictators is a very dangerous and bad idea.
The single most intrusive—and most ambitious—of the global initiatives that are under way as part of the effort to battle climate change is Agenda 21.
This set of principles, adopted at the First Rio Conference in 1992, spells out how each of us must live in the new world order. We need to leave rural areas, low-density suburbs, and leafy small towns and aggregate in big cities and crowded urban areas. Good-bye, Los Angeles. Hello, midtown Manhattan. Why? So we don’t need to drive. We contribute to greenhouse gas emissions when we get behind the wheel. Bikes will become the order of the future.
Like Stalin’s collectivization in the 1920s and ’30s and the British Enclosure Acts in the nineteenth century, the goal is to force a vast population movement, in this case so we don’t emit greenhouse gases.
Agenda 21 began as a long series of recommendations adopted at the First Rio Conference in 1992. Initially, they were really just suggestions to local zoning and planning boards on how to develop more “sustainable” communities. But the movement is gathering to make it the norm for land use decisions at the local level. More and more zoning boards are molding their plans to its contours. Cities are approving or vetoing land use plans based on Agenda 21. It is beginning really to structure how we live.
In Screwed! , we set out how Agenda 21 is influencing local communities around the nation.
Its requirements are all in the name of stopping climate change, but, in fact, through voluntary action and citizen education, we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions on our own. Without being herded into high density living arrangements.
We are driving less. Per capita vehicle mileage is down by 7 percent in the past five years and is continuing to drop.
One in ten coal-fired energy plants has converted to lower-emission natural gas in the past five years and the trend is accelerating.
Automobile energy efficiency is continuing to climb steeply.
Oil use for home heating is down by two-thirds in the past decade.
Overall, we have reduced our use of oil by 5 percent since 2000 even as our population has grown by 30 million people.
Total US greenhouse gas emissions are down by 10 percent since 2006 and are on schedule to drop by another 10–20 percent by 2020.
We don’t need to change the fundamentals of our lives. Greater energy conservation and higher vehicle mileage are the answers. Not a radical change in how we live.
Sorry, environmentalists. We are doing it the American way.
The oft-stated goal of global governance—one-world government—begs the question of whether such rule would be democratic and freedom loving or autocratic and arbitrary. Would the world government be fundamentally honest, albeit with a few bad apples, or would it be dominated by kleptocracies—governments whose rulers are only intent on stealing and plundering their way to mega-wealth? Would it be respectful of human rights or ride roughshod over them as happens in many parts of the world?
The fact is that the nations we would be entrusting with our sovereignty are not worthy of the
