Washington, DC - President-Elect Barack Obama - the man many have begun to call "The world's President" - announced today that due to the global economic crisis, everyone will have to do their part to end the financial tailspin. His revolutionary plan calls for the global community to pay their fair share in what he calls the "World Stimulus Tax."

"You've stood side-by-side with me during my election," said President-Elect Obama during a press conference addressing the world yesterday, "thousands of you even came to America to vote for me and I greatly appreciate that. But now I am asking that you help me to help you. Next year, I will be calling on each and every one of you to make the financial sacrifice that America and the world needs. That's why I will be instituting a 15% flat tax for non-American nations. I am America's President, I am your President, and with your help we can turn this economy around."

Many Republicans have argued that this simply cannot be done, but those in favor of it say that just because it has never been done before doesn't mean that it is impossible. "The difference is that Republicans are always focusing solely on America," explained Vice President-Elect Joseph Biden, "we've adopted a whole new strategy of world dictatorshi.... *ahem* world leadership. The entire world voted for the President this election cycle. Now it's time for the world to pay its fair share of the tax burden."

The President-Elect's plan has not been published as of yet, but is expected in the near future. There have been no comments from foreign leaders regarding the issue, but judging from their extensive participation in the election, most will likely follow suit with the plan.
