The USA funds 22% of the UN anyways. That's not abnormal. We also fund a order of magnitude more of NATO (once you include the actual costs of soldiers, infrastructure, logistics, etc) then any other participant.
But I agree with the point - looking at the "signatories" - this seems to be mostly tax Americans more and give it to the UN, because Europeans think so.
