Do you think then that the 300 million Africans who don't have any clean drinking water are just lazy?

How do we get clean drinking water here in the United States?

Well here's a thought, maybe the Africans could do soething about fixing up their own water. From time to time people have to do something for themselves however people get the leadership that they deserve.

Correction. If the French calculated their GDP the same way that we do France's GDP would be -.8% or worse.

This is the exact same idiotic plan the UN has been pushing for, and guess who wants to be the big parisitic boss who controls the money? Of course Chirac is going to sing the same tune as his fellow UN thieves, He's part of the same crowd.

Since China's economy is do so well, and they don't have to pay UN koyoto accord blood money, Tax China to feed the poor!.... Better yet,how about they feed their own poor!

Plus their are the Jihadist "poor". The "victims". Go ahead DHIMMI, pay the Infidel tax willingly. Bin Laden must be sitting in his cave Laughing his @ss off reading how Chirac and his Islamic UN counterparts are establishing the dhimmi tax on you poor dumb infidels.

This after we have paid close to a billion to help the tsunami victims. All voluntary.

Let me guess, he or his cronies, the corrupt U.N., etc. will control it.

I don't think so!!!!

America's drinking water is the result of generations of investment labor and sacrifice. Africa has never made any such effort. Any effor made is seen as an opportunity for graft and corruption by the leaders the Africans have hobbled themselves with.

Because you have the resources.

So are these people lazy then?

What resources do they lack?

LOL! My thoughts exactly......

Somehow we not only have clean drinking water, but sanitation, electricity, roads, schools, churches, grocery stores...etc.

There is a pervasive view on the left that this is a zero sum game and that other countries can't provide for themselves unless we give up some of our wealth. That's just bologna.
