Title: Anyone think this is a good idea?
Post by: Nickbat on 07 February 2010, 01:04:04

All those who think the world's supranational organisations are a good thing should look away now.  ;)

"The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering a plan to ask governments to impose a global consumer tax on such things as Internet activity or everyday financial transactions like paying bills online.

Such a scheme could raise "tens of billions of dollars" on behalf of the United Nations' public health arm from a broad base of consumers, which would then be used to transfer drug-making research, development and manufacturing capabilities, among other things, to the developing world."

I think it a splendid idea Nick - how else can we ensure that these august bodies are funded to continue and develop their very important work?
