British Unions, Celebrities Demand that Blair Reduce World Poverty
British trade unions and celebrities (read, socialists) are insisting that Tony Blair "drastically reduce world poverty":
Socialists, the world around, including our own leftist democrats, and those at the U.N., have always denigrated capitalism and free enterprise, but because they have no viable alternative, they demand that capitalists pay for their international socialistic programs. They cannot make it on their own in the long run!
How about, for a change, we start handing out foreign aid conditionally. You know; we'll do this if you do that. We'll feed you if you make your dictator take a huge cut in pay, or better yet, overthrow him. We'll educate you if you're willing to learn about liberty and self-government. We will even come to your aid if you decide to overthrow your worthless, thieving leader, but we're not going to give you any more money while he is still in power. We'll pay you if you speak highly of us. We'll support you if you support us, but unless we have your undivided support and devotion, don't even think about getting any of our money.
Now that would be an effective foreign policy!
In other words, these leftist groups are demanding that Britain's wealth be more equally distributed around the world to 3d and 4th world underdeveloped countries who are underdeveloped because they have corrupt governments. The poor, underdeveloped dictatorships whose people go hungry, do so because they happen to live in countries antithetical to personal liberty and free enterprise. Which, of the underdeveloped, 3d and 4th world poverty ridden countries, is supportive of capitalism, free enterprise, personal freedoms, minimal government, low taxation, and property rights? None of them! If they were supportive of those God-given rights, then they wouldn't need hand outs from freer, wealthier countries.A coalition of British charities, campaign groups, trade unions and celebrities will today demand that Tony Blair makes dramatic changes in government policy to significantly reduce world poverty.
The group will deliver a report called Make Poverty History to the prime minister which calls for changes to trade agreements, the cancellation of developing countries' debts and big increases in aid.
