#1 Speaking as a formally poor person ($7,000/year in '96) I decided it sucked, got off my lazy ass, got an education thanks to a loan from the gov., busted my butt and now make a very good wage. How about the rest of the poor people do the same if they don't want to be there? Quit taxing the successfull because somebody wants to be a lazy slob! (I speak from experiance as a former lazy slob)

#2 exhibit # 4,760 why a internet or global tax of any kind should be fought to the death. Who the fuck are they to tell anyone how to manage an economy? Raise taxes? I don't think so. Hillary should be asked to take a position on this

#3 Considering the UN's sterling record in managing other people's money to aid the poor as evidenced by the Oil for Food program, I'm sure that the Brits will give this the consideration it deserves. Although I don't normally use the word, the most apt description for the author of this report is fuckwit.

#4 Perhaps they can take it out of their UN contributions? The US should do this too (as long as the UN doesn't manage the money for the poor....)
