A lot of the problem for the poorest is our ability to actually get the aid to them. It isn't a matter of just evening things out. We have poured billions and billions into Africa as a continent yet still there exists some of the worst conditions of slavery, torture and dire poverty on the face of the earth. Governments and power shift in those countries over night.
Food, shelter, water, safety basic human rights.
Not everyone thinks they should share. Others pour their own billions into the betterment of the planet.
There is a massive difference between 'sharing' and gvt legislation that makes winners and losers.
Gates, through the charitable group that he and others fund is 'sharing'.... An unwarranted demand from the public, legislated through gvt that forces an increasing disproportionate share of income tax is
not 'sharing'
Sounds like Reaganomic trickle down theory. Look what it's created.. greed driven free market chaos.. that is destroying the middle class.. enslaving millions in squalid Maquiladora Free Trade Zones.. and making a small group of parasitic traders and financiers grotesquely rich.
None of them produce anything constructive while cynically promoting a fiction that they are actually generating 'wealth'.. and somehow are a 'gift' to the less 'enterpising'.
It's all part of the Free Market, University of Chicago school of economics that is in charge the world's economy.. especially through its supranational organisms in the IMF, WTO, World Bank.. the three witches at the Global Free Market cauldren.
Reagan had an excuse.. he was a moron. But there was and is a far more insidious clique behind him intent on establishing a slave culture of a tiny cabal of haves and and a gigantic pool of desperate have nots in the world from which they will profit.
I get such a kick outta the pseudo-Marxist philosophy that relies on cherry-picking select generalizations and ignoring the herd of elephants in the room.
Your globalization-is-evil rant has no merit whatsoever based on the reality that I can source, on the same street, equal products/services for a range of prices.... You call that healthy competition, but the second that the playing field extends from one street to nations, it magically becomes eeeeevil.
Think for one moment on your baseless rant about the pressures that you force into the marketplace... You demand more money for the work you do... Followed-up with demands for cheaper products (under the guise of 'rights')... And then bitch that some enterprise delivers on your various demands by providing cheaper products by virtue of outsourcing.
The position you support is founded on surreal assumptions on top of unrealistic expectations all wrapped-up in your own form of greed.
That said, please don't sell me this horse sh*t about the dangers of capitalism and globalisation when in fact you are the very source of the pressures
