More Talk of a Global IRS

The recently concluded Davos gatherings of the world's financial and governmental high and mighty once more brought calls for "global governance" on thorny issues that cross international borders.

But how can you have true global governance without the money to pay for it?

You must have taxes and an authority to collect it.

The question for Americans is simple: Do we want a new layer of taxes (and the regulations that come with it) on top of what we are already paying? And if the answer is no, what steps do we take to ensure that we do not get it anyway and lose more of our freedoms?

Chad Groening at OneNewsNew.com reports that the groundwork is being laid for global governance.

According to Cliff Kincaid, president of America's Survival, recently confirmed U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is being urged to lay the foundation for "global governance" by considering "international taxation" measures to loot more money from U.S. taxpayers.

Kincaid says the idea of a global IRS was included in the report The Global Agenda 2009, which was discussed at the recently concluded World Economic Forum in Davos.

"Most Americans have lost thousands and thousands of dollars, perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars, because of the destruction of their retirement accounts and personal savings," notes Kincaid.

"And yet on top of that we've got these global players in Davos talking about global taxes? A global IRS?" he wonders. "Maybe Geithner is going to run that, too. These things are being discussed out in the open at these global meetings."

It used to be such talk was considered limited to conspiracy nutjobs. Now the big boys are talking openly of their plans for a New World Order and the nutjobs are those who refuse to pay attention, their heads firmly entrenched in the sand, or some darkish place.
