Introducing Bill To Prohibit Any Remittance Of U.S. Voluntary And Assessed Contributions To The United Nations If The United Nations Imposes Any Tax Or Fee On Any United States Person Or Continues To Develop Or Promote Proposals For Such A Tax Or Fee
1 March 2005
HON. RON PAUL
OF TEXAS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, March 1, 2005
2005 Ron Paul 25:1
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce a bill to prohibit any remittance of U.S.
voluntary and assessed contributions to the
United Nations if the United Nations imposes
any tax or fee on any United States person or
continues to develop or promote proposals for
such a tax or fee.
2005 Ron Paul 25:2
The United Nations has for decades been looking for a way to develop and promote a
system of direct taxation on American citizens.
It is bad enough that the United States has
wasted more than $30 billion thus far on this
corrupt and inept organization. U.N. bureaucrats
want to find a way to put their hands directly
in the taxpayer’s pocket and do away
with the U.S. Government middle man.
2005 Ron Paul 25:3
A current example of this determination to tax American citizens is the Law of the Sea
Treaty. The “International Seabed Authority”
created by the Law of the Sea Treaty would
have the authority to — for the first time in history
— impose taxes on American businesses
and citizens. This treaty may be ratified at any
time by the U.S. Senate and U.N. taxation of
Americans will become a reality.
2005 Ron Paul 25:4
This is just one of many examples of the United Nations attempting to impose direct
taxes on the American people. If we are to retain
our sovereignty and our way of life we
must reject completely any such attempt. Our
forefathers rebelled against English rule over
the issue of “taxation without representation is
tyranny.” It makes no sense at all more than
230 years later to subject ourselves to such a
tyrannical arrangement.
2005 Ron Paul 25:5
I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting this legislation.
