The Transnationalist Ideology of the Progressives respect no national boundaries of any country. We recently had the Mexican president, Felipe Calderon, lecture us on our immigration laws to the loud applause of Democratic lawmakers. We interfered in whether Israel can build in their own capital. Now we return the favor by having Hillary Clinton go to Latin America and lecture them on having tax increases on the rich. She did this while visiting the Totalitarian progressive regime of Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa. She even praised Correa’s Socialist policies:
“She praised President Correa for working to increase social inclusion in Ecuador, which still suffers from wide disparities of wealth in urban and rural areas.”
The redistributionist Bolivarian Socialist policies of Correa have failed in Ecuador no matter how Hillary spins it and in Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela as well. They have followed the model Hillary advised and it resulted in more poverty for these nations.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday urged the wealthy across the Americas to pay their “fair share” of taxes in order to eliminate poverty and promote economic opportunity for all.
In a policy speech in the Ecuadoran capital, Clinton said her appeal to overhaul tax systems did not amount to “class warfare” and was instead a recognition that the “winner-take-all-approach” was a drag on progress.
Read the rest: Clinton urges rich Latin Americans to pay ‘fair’ tax share
By what right does Hillary Clinton have to tell others what Tax policies to enact? The same right that gives Mexico control over our immigration policies and Saudi Arabia over our foreign policy. It is the concept of Transnationalism which Progressives all throughout the world follow. They do not recognize the sovereignty of nations or the will of the people.
Latin Americans would be wise to ignore Hillary’s economic suggestions and follow the examples of Costa Rica, Colombia, Chile and Panama who have enacted Free Market principles. The path to prosperity is through individualism not collectivism. This is a lesson us Gringos seem to have forgotten!
