"Today, a group of individuals many, perhaps most, of whom are millionaires demanded that working class taxpayers and the elderly living on fixed incomes, help African dictators purchase more Mercedes, single malt scotch and whores. The largest group at this event appeared to be young people who live at home and are supported by their parents."

Seems the celebrities dug a little deeper than last time trying to figure out the root cause of African poverty, but they still came up short. Sending them free money is obviously not doing any good; most of it goes to the dictators. They need less grant money and more hard-core capitalist investment. Investment meaning you pay your debts and try to turn it into a profit, not just spend it.
