To be fair, the UN's reliance on the United States extends far beyond mere financial support.
For example, they were completely unprepared to take significant action on Iraq, despite a decade of Saddam rebuking their authority. (I'm not arguing the war here, just that the UN has no inherent spine).
Look at today, where the IAEA pitched a fit about Syria, and the US told them to go screw themselves. The world's nuclear agency didn't have the information, so they bitched at the US.
