A lot of folks are convinced we are deliberately progressing to a North American Union, but that doesn't make it real. Agreements in trade or cooperation between nations does not have to equal getting rid of soverignty. But many folks are convinced this is an overall goal of some secret commission controlling Bush, Clinton and others.
My thought? um... I guess I'm thinking that I have faith in the American people to never let it a N.A.U. happen. We're much too vocal and most willing to descend upon Washington DC. If there is a secret commission, I honestly believe that none of its smoke and mirrors could slide something like this through without some of the astute folks out there catching wind of it.
Maybe i should rephrase/re-tweak my original question in a hypothetical sense.
Hypothetically speaking, if the N.A.U. were to happen, do you think there is grounds/legal rights to oppose taxes (just maybe on the federal level) to something that is possibly undermining sovereignty?
(I understand you can't 'itemize' taxes on what you want and don't want to pay..i get that.)

It would depend on how constitutions are handled under your hypothetical situation. I would say that is a too tough to call issue, but based upon my sentiments as to the likelihood of needing to address this, it wouldn't be on my radar screen today.
Although it's totally hypothetical, it does make me wonder if under the Constitution we do have any rights to oppose where our tax dollars go. I'm not well-versed in the Constitution, but I'm guessing that the answer is no. So, if the US wanted to join Star Trek's Federation, I presume that refusing to pay taxes would be an illegal way to oppose the action.
