Cheney defends wingnut appointment, uses false statement again

There is a gross distortion of reality in the US that the US is the largest contributor to the UN so the US can dictate the rules. The fact is, the EU member states give more to the UN than the US. Even just using the the numbers from the top 15 contributors, the wingnut numbers crumble:

• US - 24.447%
• Germany - 8.361%
• UK - 5.934%
• France - 5.836%
• Italy - 4.720%
• Spain - 2.428%
• Netherlands - 1.618%

So using only the top six EU member states, the EU contributes 28.927% compared to 24.447% by the US.

I would still like to see the Blue States use this tactic against the Red State spongers and demand that they pay out only as much as they receive, if only to make the Red State spongers think twice about their perceptions about who is giving and who is taking.
