Then I say we get 1/5th of the voting power on how that money is used. If other nations want to have power, they can pony up.

The US would be better off to just leave the UN to its own collapse. The very "peace-keeping" missions overseen by the UN have been plagued with scandal as the "peacekeepers" rape and pillage the people they are supposed to be protecting.

    "Richard Gowan, a U.N. expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations, said cuts of this magnitude would create “chaos.”"

    Dumping scarce resources down a rat hole filled with enemies of free markets and enemies of individual liberty is chaos. To stop such funding is a rational end to supporting chaos.
    If only Trump recognized the domestic enemies and cut off their power as well.
