The United Nations wants a world tax imposed on all financial transactions to fund a global model of social services that will provide “needy people” with a basic income, free healthcare, education and housing.

The drive is part of the UN’s mission to create a “social protection floor” under the auspices of the Commission on Social Development, which began this week in New York. The SPF will become the UN’s primary focus from 2015 onwards when the Millennium Development Goals project concludes.

“The money to fund these services may come from a new world tax,” reports the Deseret News, quoting Jens Wandel, Deputy Director of the United Nations Development Program, who said that a long term funding plan for the project would center around “a minimal financial transaction tax (of .005 percent). This will create $40 billion in revenue.”

“No one should live below a certain income level,” stated Milos Koterec, President of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. “Everyone should be able to access at least basic health services, primary education, housing, water, sanitation and other essential services.”

According to the report, the new global tax is designed to be a progressive scale, with higher earners paying more to help provide “all needy people with a basic income, healthcare, education and housing.

U.N has proposed a world tax before.

Its not the worst idea because instead of relying on donations after some disaster strikes you can use the money from taxes. Also it may help build up 3rd world countries which could expand some markets.

The basic idea is good, i think. The problem is most of that money would be spent on bureaucracy instead of where it should go.

no thanks!

The problem in a lot of these 3rd world ****holes is not that they don't have money to feed their people.

It's that all money has to go in through the Dictator in charge, and there is no trickle down.

A world tax won't fix that.

To 7734 with the UN. Who always has to bail out them out every time there is a crisis in the world?

that and when they ARE helped by different organizations, they still revert to their s***hole ways.

friend of mine joined the peace corp out of high school in 1994.
she has gone repeatedly to this one village that her family trust sponsored...improved conditions last for at most 6 months.

taxing the worlds transactions STILL will not change the dictator, and wont change the people either.

I choose Kingdom of Lesotho as the baseline.

The problem with the wealth distribution system ( socialism/progressivism) proposed by the UN, is that eventually you run out of other people's money to give to the so called poor.
