They are tying up traffic, eating truffles, living in 5 star hotels, being chauffeured in limosines.... Then talk about poverty..... Does anyone else find this funny? Does anyone think they are rich from neglecting the very people they say they want to help? I think they better not touch the theme of poverty because they have the least credible position to speak on it. They want to create taxes on the world nations to combat poverty? Go to World Bank and IMF? to the UN? And into a slush fund which like all things they promise usually does no good, but deepen their pockets so they can afford more extravagances.
