Why would we pull out of an organization we have veto power over?

Simply veto it and say "Next topic!"

Because it still costs us money, and they don't do their job anyway

There is a cost to living among neighbors.

Maybe if you weren't too God damn lazy to help those people, you wouldn't try to steal other people's to give to an organization that has nothing to do with the issue, and would likely funnel it to your dictator of choice.

If they want to not live among us anymore, I'm sure I'll get over it.

Look, I am completely against the International Tax proposal.  But just because we disagree with it, doesn't mean we should take our toys and go home.  We Americans still need to be willing to listen and remain part of the the Club, even if at the end of most days we simply cast a veto and agree to disagree.

But it is still the only club in town.  

You don't withdraw from society just because you disagree with it.  Only cults do that.
