narration
some african tax rates are the highest in the world plus they have a value added tax gets added to everything you buy. those high tax rates make it impossible to build capital in those countries, so nothing gets built, not the factories not roads not anything. poor african countries have the lowest wage workers in the world, and yet a company like nike for instance can’t put a factory in one of those countries because of their oppressive tax rates
taxes have k!lled any possibility of economic development, they’ve k!lled any hope of these countries ever helping themselves and that leaves them completely at the mercy of charity and loans and here’s the worst part you know why those countries have such high tax rates? because of us (foreign nations) to show us that they can raise enough money to pay back their loans. but taxes can’t raise any money if they k!ll the economy, so it turns out that the tragic unintended consequence of our good intentions towards africa, our kindness (break it down) is that we have encourage those countries to lock themselves in a gruesome economic depression. if we don’t urge those countries to cut their tax rates they will never grow their economies. people will live lifetimes of unemployment, disease will be rampant, poverty will be permanent and children will be hungry and our charity will never be enough. never
by 2035 poverty will be an african problem (break it down)

the american society does not operate by sitting around and waiting for hand out
