I'm sorry. Are we actually viewing the same thread? I thought the point of this one had something to do with some UN bureraucrats' efforts at
global economic redistribution. It is very hard for me to understand just how that is directly relevant to an "effort to help the poor or try to reverse the economic disparity in this country."
(For the record, I strongly oppose the odious policy of redistributionism
within a country also--if you really believe that dividing up the economic pie will do anything to help it expand rather than contract, then you have a very different understanding of basic economics than I do--but that is hardly relevant to the point of this thread.)
