You didn’t read the article did you.....
My apologies. I just scanned it. It is a good article because it was written by an African who “gets it.” I was expecting something from some guilt ridden, politically correct, self loathing, hand wringing, left-wing white person sitting at BBC HQ in London.
There was a great book written by an African American younger man who went to Africa to discover his roots. He was horrified at what he found versus the romantic idea of Africa. He was attacked by left wing whites and blacks in the USA and around the world.
He said he was so thankful to be an American which enraged them even more. The books was probably written 10 years ago. He had been a writer for Washington Post or something.
Nothing I haven’t said for years, except I never thought of the poor of Africa being taxed too little. It isn’t the taxes, it is the governmental system, so taxes wouldn’t help any more than more aid would, the same corrupt individuals would squander it or steal it.
Capitalism works up until socialism takes over because more and more people want the working man to give up his hard earned wages to keep them alive.
