Draft: Establishment of World Wealth Fund
I'm not yet sure what category this would fall under and as Dosuun is not a member nation of the UN a partner nation would be required to submit this proposal.
Title: Establishment of World Wealth Fund
MAINTAINING that the rich being condemed to a life of only semi-luxury is one of the most serious problems facing our world today;
OBSERVING that rich citizens of many nations, regardless of size and wealth, struggle to obtain the amount of wealth necessary to maintain the life of luxury they have become accustomed to, and
BELIEVING that events such as wars, and natural disasters can lead do a sudden and dangerous shortages of luxury goods anywhere in the world,
The United Nations
1. ESTABLISHES the World Wealth Fund
2. CHARGES the World Wealth Fund (WWF) to collect donations of money from the poor and provide it to people who are already fairly well off but not enough so to afford all the luxurious frippery they desire on their own due to personal incompitence, the after effects of war, natural disaster, or similar circumstances.
3. AUTHORIZES UN representatives already involved with humanitarian aid to distribute the collected goods and money from those who need it to those who don't.
4. STRONGLY URGES all UN member nations to shake poor people by their ankles until any money in their pockets has fallen out and provide a percentage of their yearly GDP surplus (if any) to the WWF to ensure that it will be able to carry out its mission.
Well, what do you think?

Well, what do you think?I think you should stop and figure out what category you want before you draft the Proposal. Trying to retrofit rarely works.

You know, the more I see of these childish parodies of other peoples hard work, the more I hope their proposal gets to quorum and passes, just for the spite factor. This new form of flamebaiting wasn't funny when it was done to Nuclear responsibility, and it certainly isn't funny now.
If you don't like the idea of the World Food Bank proposal, fine, that is your choice. Assist to improve the proposal, TG against it while it is in the list, debate and vote against it if it reaches the floor, you have plenty of choices to deal with that. This sort of thing is just plagarism, vandalism and asking for nasty reactions, such as mine here.

Oh but I haven't anything against the WFB proposal. It has...inspired me. This isn't a joke proposal and I'm really hoping to find someone who will coauthor it into a better document than it is and submit is for me.

I think you should have posted it in this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=505603).

We are not amused.

That is... curious indeed. Though it would be fair to say that this proposal is proving somewhat inspiriation for us, in that its inverse would seem to have considerable merit. We feel a Voluntary Redistribution of Wealth Act coming on.

I don't know about other delegations, but here's the stance of the Altanari delegation on this sort of thing.
If you really think taking money from those who have little of it, to give to those who already have it, is a good idea, then you're more than welcome to practice such foolishness in your own nation. Altanar finds such a concept to be inherently selfish and would be unalterably opposed.
And if you're not serious about this proposal at all (which I suspect you're not), then, with all due respect, please don't waste our time. If you want to burden your legislative branch in your own country with joke legislation, have at it. But don't do so here.

Seems to me there are three possibilities:
1. This is a joke.
2. The author's a jerk.
3. Both of the above.
Whatever the case may be, we sure do wish he'd go away and stop wasting everybody's time.

I think this troll needs to go back to his cave. This sort of thing is the reason I rarely go to General, and I'll be damned if I let it mess up my UN experience. I'm done with this mess. You don't exist.
