"Developed countries, like the US, must provide $100B per year for the next 30 years,"
There is no "must"; it's voluntary.

"we all know from the UN and NATO, the Europeans are complete deadbeats and the US picks up 90% of UN costs and 70% of NATO costs."
No, we don't all know that.

" we can expect to pick up around 80% of the Paris deal's costs as well"
You should change your expectations. My expectations are that the US will become the richest deadbeat in the history the world, contributing a total of $1B. Right now, we've contributed just under 10%

"Those of us who work are sick and tired of all of you deadbeats spending all your waking hours trying to figure out how to spend the money we slave for"
Some of us who don't work spend half our time figuring out how to stop spending our tax money we don't slave for, and, let me tell ya, taxes on money I don't slave for are a lot less tiring than the taxes I did slave for. Right now, I'd like to reduce defense spending to the 2% we want from NATO.
