Commentary: United Nations As FARCE - The Post Chronicle

"The United States coughs up 22 percent of the Regular Budget of the United Nations, $423,464,855 for FY 2006. Of the 191 member-nations, none comes close to paying that much, the nearest one being Japan at $332,240,528. Indeed, a gaggle of nations pay the minimum, $17,066, maybe half as much as the average hourly worker makes a year in this country."
