This is one step closer to liberal's "big brother". The US is loosing is sovereignty. The US is one step closer to having to pay taxes to foreign (and even hostile) nations. The Liberals often try to smear their opponents by saying their opponents are promoting "Big Brother", however when you look at the facts the Liberals and unfortunately some Republicans are the ones that are promoting "Big Brother". Whether it be to taxes of some global welfare program, the Kyoto treaty or under the guise of some other form of environmentalism, ect... The liberal fascists are selling what is essentially a blend of fascism, socialism, and communism. Unfortunately the right is shifting more in the same direction to compromise with liberals.
