Is that really accurate? Each one of us individually is to “pay for every third worlder’s education”? I mean, you said, “he wants YOU, that’s right, YOU, to pay for every third worlder’s education.” So assuming he’s referring only to those primary-aged school kids who aren’t currently in school, you’re saying he wants each of us to pay 100% of the cost of putting 90 million children into school. Is that how you understand it? Or is he asking the cost to be spread among hundreds of millions of taxpayers worldwide, with the result of putting 90 million children into school, who will then, by nature of having an education, be not only literate, but will be able to contribute to their own economies and be more productive in the workforce, the benefits of which would far exceed the costs?

It’s not quite that simple, but I’d venture it’s closer to reality than what you’re putting forward.

If you pay taxes, that’s EXACTLY what he wants. Are you happy to pay taxes to nations that refuse to create economies so that their own citizens can provide a tax base? If so, you are different from me. If you pay taxes and wolf wants your taxes, you’re paying for third world schools. Enjoy your taxes.
