We Pay, They Die

----------------

|
Do you ever watch those horrid specials on late night TV that show
|
|
the little children in Africa with the swollen stomachs that show
|
|
they are suffering from starvation?
|
|
|
|
Did you ever send money to keep them from starving to death? I'd bet
|
|
not. It's just the way life is. It's not *your* fault they are
|
|
starving, is it?
|
|
|
|
Well, actually it *is* your fault -- if you are an American tax payer,
|
|
that is. What's this you say? The American government is paying to
|
|
starve children in Africa? How barbaric! But it's true. Read on!
|
|
|
|
What causes children in Africa to starve? Some sort of global food
|
|
shortage? Not a chance. Between 1950 and 1985 world grain production
|
|
grew from 725 million tons to 1.7 billion tons, far outstripping
|
|
population growth and contributing to an average 25 percent increase in
|
|
the amount of food available per person worldwide. According to the
|
|
World Health Organization (WHO) per capita food intake increased from
|
|
less that 95% of the caloric minimum to sustain life to over 110% of
|
|
that number in the same time period.
|
|
|
|
Go to your local supermarket. Is there food there? What is keeping your
|
|
local supermarket chain from opening a store in Ethiopia? It's not a
|
|
lack of food to fill a store in Ethiopia. It's the fact that food is
|
|
expensive and the starving children have no hard currency.
|
|
|
|
Why is food expensive? Let's look at one of the most basic and simple
|
|
laws of economics: supply and demand. If the supply of food rises and
|
|
the demand stays the same, price goes down. If the supply of food goes
|
|
down and the demand stays the same, price rises. Here is a chart:

How is the American government affecting this, you might be tempted to
|
|
ask? Our American government is paying well-fed aristocratic bums like
|
|
Sam Donaldson to *not* produce food. That's right. If you own a farm
|
|
in America, the government will pay you NOT to farm it.
|
|
|
|
Why does the government do this? The government does it to keep food
|
|
prices high, ostensibly to support American farmers. What is the real
|
|
effect? Children in Africa with swollen stomachs. Next time you see
|
|
Sam Donaldson smiling on TV, imagine that rich fucker with a distended
|
|
stomach.
