Why should American citizens allow a non-government entity to levy taxes on us? Its blatantly unconstitutional.
The tax will not be levied by the G8, but by Congress.

If the member nations of the G8 will implement the tax individually, then what is the point of discussing it at the G8?
In practice, the G8 as a whole will have decided to levy the tax. Officially and theoretically, however, only Congress may do so.
