Countries pay proportionately according to GDP

Same formula applies to all

2. U.S. has 24.58%

of the world's GDP so the amount of the dues is about right.

Some fun facts

When Clinton took (Dec before assuming Presidency) he achieved the highest rate of U.S. GDP to World GDP growth.

1980 - 25.16%
1988 - 26.98%
1992 - 25.76%
2000 - 30.66%
2008 - 23.22%
2016 - 24.58%

Waste is one issue but I can't see any case for moving away from the existing formula for calculating contributions.

A flat rate, or negotiated contributions would be unfair.
