Message | It is not our obligation to rob Peter to pay Paul. What happens so often in third world countries is the government is the problem. We are robbing our people to pay regimes. And why should we be pelting them with money? There are better ways to aid them. But there is a much bigger question, which countries in Terra are third world? |
