Oh, World Economic Forum...

[Danzig]

Earlier this week, one of the Davos attendees, billionaire Jeff Greene, railed against American excess … after taking his wife, children, and two nannies along to Switzerland with him in one of those private jets.


“America’s lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence,” Greene told Bloomberg. “We need to reinvent our whole system of life.”


Greene, who ran for U.S. Senate in Florida in 2010, has a less-than-stellar track record when it comes to being an advocate for environmental sustainability. According to a 2010 article in the Tampa Bay Times, in March 2005 Greene’s three-story, 145-foot yacht Summerwind—the size of ”a 14-story building turned on its side”—dropped anchor onto one of the planet’s most pristine coral reefs in Belize, inflicting a 50-by-200-foot swath of damage.

Did the 'Fuhrer' Al Gore fly commercial?

As a Democrat

[somerfrost]

Just another example of why I can't support either political party, the issue isn't which party is the most corrupt rather how can politics be returned to the average person without selling his/her soul. Doesn't seem likely as those with money will never surrender power.

Well that line of thinking isn't traditionally liberal, somer.

If resources are in fact limited...then what is the benefit of our country accepting this globalism scam?

It is of no benefit to the average American.

So under this current political environment you can continue to expect less comfort and far more stress.

But at least we will all be equal? Which is a silly concept in the wild.

This should give the "Average American" a better chance

Sad state of affairs when Disability becomes a growth industry. It is not inconceivable that this program is riddled with fraud.
