Insane Troll Logic
So, the UN has started a new global campaign to fight hunger and poverty. This campaign involves taxing heavy arms, taxing large financial transactions, and creating credit cards whose owners (not everyone with a credit card, mind you, but the specific owners of one of these cards) would give a little money to the global fund with each transaction. Sounds perfectly reasonable, right?
Not so, says the Bush presidency! According to Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman, "economic growth", and not global taxes, are the key to fighting world hunger. That's right: Why help the little guy, when you can help the rich guy, too? Because everyone knows that if we give money to the rich, they'll... give it... to the poor...
Sorry, UN. Don't hate me. I didn't pick them.
