I disagree with the one country one vote especially when we're paying for about 40% of the cost.(read that number someplace don't remember where though.) Too much bureaucracy for my taste. We have a Constitution that we were founded on. We do not need the UN to alter are rules and regulations. Like we don't have enough of them already without UN envolvement.
I believe it was Ron Paul and yes, payment should be equal - if they expect us to continue paying the lion's share then we should also get an equal percentage of the vote - whatever that percent might be. Getting out would probably be the best in the long run because the UN will never be anything other than a huge bureaucracy or an international debating society - probably both.
