That's a big assumption. I personally am not opposed to the UN having taxation authority. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't give them carte blanche but I don't write off the idea out of hand.
I think European nations might be willing to consider it, for instance. After all they've already subsumed some of their national sovereignty by joining the EU.
I tend to be wary of making such sweeping statements (not saying I don't occasionally make them though
).
