That's my point. Why are WE paying for this insanity? What about the hungry poor throughout the world. Are we now going to be required to pay for that too?
Why are we being taxed, charged, or made to pay for these things?
You're right, Joe. Go hungry because your crops fail and there are no rabid activists to send you money from the US. Go out and cheat on your wife and have sex with 10 women and get AIDS - and you'll get a check from the American taxpayer to pay for your medications.
We are paying for it, because it is a key move in the political game being played. They're doing this proposal to preempt the socialist demands for a $120/person donation to the African AIDS fund. Instead, they're offering $50/person.
This and all the other socialist programs being advanced are primarily to secure votes. In additon they are playing to gain position in the rest of the socialist world. They are minimizing the amount redistribution they figure is needed to stay in power. That's what it amounts to. That goes for the black hole that is their hydrogen proposal also.
In reality, if all those leftist bozos were really concerned about the plight of the Africans, they'd use their own time, talents and money to do something. Well, they don't give a damn. What they are interested in is perceptions. They are artists, con artists, appealing to the emotional waverings of the voters. Their activities are almost entirely driven by their own motivations for cash, power and glory.
