#4 So destroying the economy and retarding communications so a bunch of unproductive bureaucrats can extort their way to a life of luxury is a bad thing?

#5 Now that carbon trading is rapidly 'going up in smoke', the UN is looking for new global taxes to line the pockets and stuff the bank accounts of the third world kleptocrats who run it.

#7 BTW, WHO doesn't actually do anything, except 'co-ordinate', which is UNspeak for extracting bribes and commisions while generally impeding the useful work of others.

#8 No. More. Money.

Public sector elites haven't gotten it yet. If the producers are making less, we can't give more.

Try all your tricks and schemes if you will. You only delay the inevitable.

#9 Regional "networks for innovation" would be cultivated across the developing world, and some regions, such as Africa, would be encouraged to develop technology to exploit "traditional medicines."

Will a tax placed on the "Tokoloshe" sent by our Sangomas (traditional healers) be levied on us as well, or will this come in a later version?

#10 Yea! The UN to radically reorganize the research, development, production and distribution of medicines around the world!
What could go wrong?

#12 ...I believe the old mobster (or political*) term is 'piece of the action'.


*Chicago has blended the two as to be inseparable.

#15 I guess we can look forward to another summit where our leadership bashes the US and assumes ultimate responsibility for all global health issues while begging other, smarter, world leaders to follow suit. China and India didn't go for emission controls; let's see if they go for this.

#16 Look at the bright side.
Bootleg steroids and valium from Africa will get a lot cheaper.

If you give them pharma equip and training, that's what it would end up being used for.

FTFY, CF.

#18 They can call all they want. Each national government would have to vote to tax themselves for that purpose, and even before Greece got interesting that was not likely.

#19 So now non-US entities can impose taxes on Americans? Hmmm, can't seem to find that in my copy of the Constitution.

FUCK YOU, WHORES.

#21 How about Americans stop subsidizing world pharmaceutical prices to the tune of $100 billion/year and demand to pay lower international prices?
