Spread the wealth?

Has anyone looked into Barack Obama's S.2433 : Global Poverty Act ?

.7% of OUR country's GDP (hundreds of Billions$$) would be dumped into the UN, on TOP of what we already dump into foreign countries.

Quote:
The U.N. would have the power to increase this rate of taxation.
The bill would force the U.S. to sign onto the U.N.'s Millennium Declaration, which would commit us not only to "banning small arms and light weapons" but also to adhere to the International Criminal Court Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.

The Kenyan economics expert James Shikwati, 35, says that aid to Africa does more harm than good. The avid proponent of globalization spoke with SPIEGEL about the disastrous effects of Western development policy in Africa, corrupt rulers, and the tendency to overstate the AIDS problem.
