I think that we, the west, would need to give up so much, just to give the third world even a little bit of equality. Mankind is greedy, we don't want to give up anything. And as greedy as mankind is in general, you can double that regarding Bushy.
Say our taxes went up another 50% and the extra money was used for a world-wide welfare system, would the situation improve? Or would we/they be no better off? Corruption is rampant, no natural resources, no industry that's not controlled by the west, and millions of under-educated living, breathing people with nowhere to turn.
Thousands of people die in the Congo, it enters the western consciousness for a few minutes, then after a commercial we're back to our distractions of terror alerts, Mike Tyson and severe weather in --------.
No one wants to care about Africa, because the powers that be have deemed it so.
