[GMW #2228] Ending Astronomic Military Costs, Violations Of Democracy And Truth, Blackmail, Violence, Tax Evasion, Financial Manipulations And Speculation

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500

~ Idea 1010 ~ 16 April 1997

The main question regarding the United Nations is not how it can be reduced under the pretext of bureaucracy and excessive costs – the most ridiculous permanent accusations of extreme right conservatives in the United States – but what more world issues, dangers and evils the UN should deal with.

Here are a few: astronomic costs of the military, violations of democracy and of the truth, corruption, bribery, blackmail, violence in all its forms, tax evasion by the wealthy, financial manipulations, etc.

For instance, is it normal that 80 percent of all international financial transactions are speculative? In the field of tax evasion there are numerous billionaires and multimillionaires who do pay little or no taxes, taking advantage of tax haven countries of the world.
