What Happens in Davos, Stays in Davos
Would that it were true!
The World Economic Forum is taking place this week in Davos, Switzerland. Jay Nordlinger describes the gathering as "left heavy;" a veritable who's who on the left. So what happens when the lofty "international community" gather in Davos? All manner of discussions, presentations, luncheons, and dinners take place centering on how to more effectively redistribute the vast wealth of the productive countries to the poor, underdeveloped, third and fourth world countries.
AIDS is always a good fund raising vehicle. Who could be against helping people with AIDS, the unspoken argument goes. Countries who don't give their "fair share" are portrayed as greedy and insensitive.
Internationalists also constantly harangue about the devestating effect of greenhouse gases. Who could be in favor of global warming?
The United States, it will be decided, needs to "contribute" more to these causes, and the U.N. is the "best equipped" agency to make sure these funds are properly distributed.
The call for an international tax is already out there by Chirac (to fight AIDS, don't ya know).
Sadly, Tony Blair, as reported here, yesterday, wants us to meld more effectively into the fellowship of the international community.
Bah humbug! Global internationalists all! They should mind their own business and leave our resources out of their plans. We are already spending and doing more than anybody else on whatever world problem they wish to speak.
It's wonderful that these folks can get together in elegant Swiss environs to solve the world's problems. We all do that in varying degrees with our friends and family, but most of us don't have the ability to make much of a difference on a world scale. Unfortunately, many of these elitists do. It's my opinion that the world would be better off if they just keep their solutions to themselves. It might be better for them to convene in Las Vegas. What happens there, stays there.
