The US gives 0.17% of its GDP in foreign aid compared to Sweden who gives 1.03% yet I keep hearing how all of our money is going overseas while people here are being screwed. Compared to other countries we are quite stingy. Even so many of you seem to think that other countries need to fend for them selves even if a huge number of them will starve without help. Can you really put a price on a life???

How do you think those companies are allowed to build sweatshops in the first place? Wouldn't it be safe to surmise that the companies have the local government in their pocket?


Or that the local governement sees that a company from a world power wants to establish a place where their people can get jobs.

Wait? Communism works? For who? The people or the leader? The largest flaw in Communism is that humans aren't all the same. We all can't do the same work due to some of us are smartest, faster or stronger than others.

I guess I dropped the ball on getting my point across. Communism works for the government in power. And only if absolute power is held onto with an iron fist. Communism fails not because of unequal ability but because of lack of motivation. Why should anyone work harder to attain better work accomplishments either quality or quantity if the reward is the same as the guy next to you that accomplishes only half of your ability. I also know that Mao and Stalin are dead but my point was they understood how to make communism work. It works by way of deaths to get your point across. Do what I say and believe what I tell you or die. 1 choice. Easy ain't it.

also sorry for dragging this off topic. I can go off on the wrong tangent sometimes.
