Third World Owes U.S. More Than Just Debt of Gratitude

.
The left is constantly arguing for so-called “fair trade” to make up for previous unfair financial practices. “We need economic justice,” they scream.

I agree. It’s time for those greedy ingrates to pay their fair share. I mean the third world of course.

For too long the United States has carried the third world on its back, providing jobs, emergency aid and never-ending charity. Throw in a world’s worth of technology, countless vaccines, food and military aid and it’s no wonder that the world was even more messed up before 1776.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton groveled to the Indians, laying the groundwork for shipping even more goodies abroad, claiming “we along with other developed countries have contributed most significantly to” climate change.

She left out that we, along with other developed countries, have contributed most significantly to everything – freedom, art, computers, space travel and medicine to name a few... [snip]
