Tuesday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, U2 frontman and anti-poverty activist Bono called for the U.S. to send more assistance to Europe to shore up the European Union as it buckles under the Third World migrant crisis, even though Americans are struggling to bear their own tax burdens.
“I know the American taxpayer is really hurting at the moment and the same in Europe,” Bono said. “But I think between Europe and America there is a consensus building that, you know, the corruption that’s killing as many kids as disease can be dealt with by structuring these concessional loans on the conditions that these countries that we give them to reform.”
Bono’s MSNBC segment was meant to draw attention to his upcoming testimony Tuesday before a U.S. Senate subcommittee, where he is expected to discuss violent extremism and the role of foreign assistance.

I would donate handguns to German men and women to protect themselves from the Muslims hordes.
A one word name pretty much nails his IQ.
His silly sayings drive that nail even further.
“Bono” almost makes me ashamed of having Irish ancestry.

Interesting timing of Bono’ s press release and the almost simultaneous release from his boss Soros.

Irish? I thought he was Dutch. Well, at least his band is after they moved to the Netherlands for its favorable tax treatment.
Last year, Bono was excoriated by one of Ireland’s largest unions after he said the recession-battered country’s generous corporate tax regime had brought it “the only prosperity we’ve ever known”.
Asked about his position on tax, he told Sky News that just because he had campaigned for a fairer society it did not mean he had to be “stupid” in business.
Bono said: “It’s just some smart people we have working for us trying to be sensible about the way we’re taxed.

Nope, Bono is Irish.
So, favorable tax treatment... also probably because the Dutch are as flaky as he is.
Bozo is worth 600M. Maybe he could donate 550M for his cause and live on a measly 50M?
Sending weapons to ISIS and al Nustra.
