American democrats have joined world leaders, movers, and shakers at the UN to impose draconian costs on the American people in the form of mandatory UN taxes for the sake of funding leftists approved by the UN to implement policies in line with the goals of the UN.

These scientific quack, lazy-bum, do-nothing constructive highway robbers intend to rob Americans and others around the world of their hard-earned money, and American democrats are fully on board the confiscation of American wealth and assets by these thieves.
