| Bolt: Copenhagen con: how the socialists are making capitalists pay |
| 2009-12-17 |
| First the Copenhagen summit gives Hugo Chavez a standing ovation for savaging capitalism. Then out comes the begging bowl, to be filled by those very same evil capitalists: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to put new life into flagging U.N. talks Thursday by announcing the U.S. would join others in raising $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poorer nations cope with global warming. But no sooner have those billions been promised, than the anti-capitalists up the ask: China and other developing countries say the target should be in the range of $350 billion. How much is this carpet-baggersÂ’ convention costing us, for heavenÂ’s sake? Recall our prime minister now before our cash is all gone. |
