I WILL NOT be paying taxes to the UN! My church does more with my tithing and my donations to the welfare fund. UN stay out of my wallet!!!

The issues and questions this raises are mind boggeling! It is socialism on an incredible scale. While helping those in need is something we should be involved in, this is certainly not the way to do it. This should be resisted on all fronts.
