Because the NYC school system has 1,000,000 students and about 200,000 employees?

Because the United Nations has realized that the U.S. only signed a contract to pay dues and never actually intended to pay. If we would honor the things we sign as a country (and let me tell you, I'll be screwed if I don't make my house payment) the UN's budget would be a bit bigger and more reliable. If the U.S. didn't want to join, we didn't have to. But in joining the UN, we entered into a contract that, for any ordinary person, would be unavoidable....SO PAY UP!
