Suffocating the Poor: A Modern Parable
Edited on Sun Sep-19-10 07:45 PM by polly7
By Johann Hari

September 19, 2010 "Independent/" -- Today, I want to tell you the story of how our governments have been torturing and tormenting an island in the Caribbean - but it is a much bigger story than that. It's a parable explaining one of the main reasons how and why, across the world, the poor are kept poor, so the rich can be kept rich. If you grasp this situation, you will see some of the ugliest forces in the world laid out before you - so we can figure out how to stop them."...........
