Wow, when you can convince Bono that socialism is bad, that is sayin something.

globalization has brought more people out of poverty than any other -ism.

Globalism is not capitalism.

He writes heart tugging lyrics for a living.

The verses say one thing

His chorus says another.

It’s a bono fide head fake.

Hypocrite Bono has known that for a long time. It just wasn’t professionally feasible to go there at the time.

Look back to 2006 when U2 moved its music businesses from Ireland to Netherlands to avoid paying higher Irish taxes. At the same time, asking Ireland to do more in helping underdeveloped countries.

But that was with OPM (Other people’s money)

Smart business move for U2, but not in line with how he lectured others.
