The support of the UN should be proportionate to voting rights. The US has one vote, the other members have one vote. The US should pay only its share. Currently the UN gets most of its funding from the so called "rich" nations. But the poor nations get the same vote, while paying much less for the UN support. This is unfair. If the US share of aid to the UN were drastically reduced, the other countries that have been so loud in their anti-Americanism would at least have to pay for the privilege. Also smaller budgets at the UN would leave a lot less money for the mischievous likes of Durban and LOST. Starve the Beast.
At the very least, the US taxpayers should demand that the US pull out of any conference that is designed to work against American interests. In fact, the evolution of the UN in recent years could be argued to be anti-American in design and intent, so why not pull out altogether? There are better things to do with US taxpayers money.
