If "global wealth" should be shared, how about some of those Saudi petroleum revenues? Expecially since they just pi$$ it away.

I think we should share the taxes on the rich.

The lesson of our time is that we need to do everything we can to prevent global problems from unfolding rather than trying to fix things after the event.

Agree with the author on that point 100%. But if he really cares he will admit that his leftist dreams of UN talking and socialist "sharing" will not prevent anything. He will work to promote capitalism, political freedom, and the rule of law in developing nations. This formula has been proven throughout the world and throughout history.

Sadly, I suspect this fellow is more interested in what makes him seem like a compassionate person to himself and others, than he is in actually helping people. Why else do leftists reject what works?

Most 'free traders' seem to favor the former, I favor the latter
