Dunedan,
What do you think global capitalism is other than Armed Robbery on a world-wide scale? Committed by the wealthy nations fleecing the poor nations. Where do you think your glow in the dark tooth brush was made? Why do you think all the manufacturing jobs fled the country? It's cheaper to send them to a poor country where all the corporation has to do is grease some palms instead of worrying about environmental damage, employee safety, employee health.
The world is a disgusting place. You reap the benefits because you live in a nation who takes the wealth from other nations. And you're not even paying enough as is to balance it. Sure it's easy for a bunch of folks i the richest nation on earth to suddenly hold up their hands and say "hey now, I ain't down with this whole taxes thing". You already took all the money.
