All part of the UN plan.

Redistributing 1.6 percent of the income of the richest 10 percent of the global population... would provide the $300 billion needed to lift the 1 billion people living on less than a dollar a day out of extreme poverty, at least temporarily.

This would make their income $1.82 a day if I did my math right.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime. Silky pony is advocating giving a fish...over and over forever.

I really prefer the "Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat all day drinking beer" as the more probable outcome.

Silky pony is doing what all politicians do...promising to do good deeds WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. How very benevolent.
