The enemy of the poor

September 14th, 2003 at 7:30 pm by David Farrar

As usual there are a collection of lunatics protesting at a WTO meeting. One of them even stabbed himself to death and has become a martyr to the others.

And what is it that the big bad nasty WTO is trying to do. Oh yeah trying to get the rich countries drop subsidies and tariffs on agricultural items, which make it impossible for third world countries to compete.

So the anti WTO protesters are actually defending the right of the US and EU to crap on poor starving farmers in the third world with their protectionist regimes.

    What’s wrong with trying to stem the flow of multinational corporations who have no social responsibilities in the countries they’re trying to get into. Ever read No Logo?
