This is a surefire topic to come up as a campaign issue, should Sen. Obama be nominated..
The Obama-sponsored "Gobal Poverty Act" (Senate Bill S.2433), is part of the "United Nations Millennium Declaration" which calls on all nations to provide 0.7% of their GNP to the UN.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee recommended passage of the Act yesterday.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that sure sounds like a GNP-based tax to me.
The sponsors of the bill thusfar include: Senators Barack Obama, Maria Cantwell, Dianne Feinstein, Richard Lugar, Richard Durbin, Chuck Hagel and Robert Menendez.
First, let's hear from Senator Obama.
Obama, Hagel, Cantwell Introduce Bill to Fight Global Poverty
Tuesday, December 11, 2007
Legislation would aim to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Barack Obama (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) have introduced the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs. Representatives Adam Smith (D-WA) and Spencer Bachus (R-AL) sponsored the House version of the bill (H.R. 1302), which passed the House in September.

Obama’s Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote
February 12, 2008
A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

So, what do y'all think?
I'm very, very leery of handing another $845 billion to the UN for them to spread around among their relatives...again.
