“Chirac, third-world countries don’t need YOUR kind of sympathy!”

French President Jacques Chirac continued his insane suggestion that the whole world should be taxed and that the money would go towards fighting AIDS:

In a speech via video link to political and business leaders in the Swiss resort of Davos, he said at least 10 billion dollars (7.7 billion euros) a year was needed — up from six billion annually now — to stem the spread of the disease.

Chirac, prevented from flying to the World Economic Forum here through poor weather, said that despite huge efforts so far, “we are failing in the face of this terrible pandemic.” (more…)

He also said:

“… developed countries should also create tax incentives to stimulate private donations to charity.”

The United States has been doing this for years and still get criticized for being “stingy”!

Throughout Chirac’s passionate plea for the world to increase, he failed to mention the pile of crap that he had to wipe off his shoes from the Oil for Food scandal before making his speech. Throughout the war in Iraq, evidence has shown that France has been a key player in accepting payments from Saddam Hussein via the UN’s Oil for Food campaign. Millions of Iraqi citizens were forced to fend for themselves for much needed food and medicine while Saddam and his cohorts along with the governments of France, Germany, and Russia enjoyed the “fruits of their arrangement”. Another thing, the current laws of France are written as such where the president of France is automatically granted immunity from any type of investigation.

A little bit later, I will go into how European countries have been raping Africa (yet again) via the oil industry. Here again, you will see how millions of dollars go directly to hands of corrupt governments while ONCE AGAIN, the people who need it the most suffer.

Now Chirac wants to give them more money?
