Where's the Outrage?

Ty, which country provides massive amounts of funding for these UN programs?
As for the taxes, even if you taxed US citizens at a 75% rate of their incomes, that would not generate enough revenue to feed everyone on earth. There are too many people, and some of them live in places where you cannot grow food. Moreover, sky-high tax rates would kill our economy and the revenues would fall not increase because of the damaging effect this would have on the economy.
Moreover, moreover the sad reality is that food aid won't solve the problem and will actually make the underlying problems worse as it will lead to even more people being born in a place where they don't have the resources to support these even more people.
Moreover, moreover, moreover give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he can eat for life. Food aid is the wrong approach to solve what ills Africa.

A armload of nifty rhetorical gambits, but I asked the question of club because he was the one gratuitously whacking the UN.
