Impotence America 李敖 11108Words 2018-03-18
The scene is the same as Act 1. God Li: (Stands up, knocks the gavel) Now announce the opening of the 39th Court of the "Last Judgment" (sit down).Biography of the defendant Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States. (Reagan stands up.) God Lee: You are Reagan, born on February 6, 1911, the 40th president of the United States? Reagan: Yes. God Lee: You are the oldest president in American history. When you stepped down on January 20, 1989, you were already 78 years old. Reagan: (laughs) So what at 78?I will be older. God Lee: Before you get older, maybe you will forget more.

Reagan: If God Lee reminds me, I'll remember it. God Lee: Let me try it.What does T-10 mean to you? Reagan: (thinking for a while, embarrassed) I can't remember. God Lee: According to the 1985 FBI file, you were a member of the FBI in the 1940s, codenamed T-10. It seems that you are an informant of the Secret Service. Reagan: Oh, I've had too many experiences in my life, and this kind of experience, especially not a very decent one, is just a little finger of mine (extend the little finger of my right hand). God Lee: Why don't you stick out the ring finger in front of the little finger of your left hand?That unbendable finger?

Reagan: (shaking his head, helpless, wry smile) God Lee knows everything. God Li: It seems that your lying ability is not very good, because your association is too strong but your memory is too bad.Your friend Bob Hope said President Reagan didn't have to lie because someone else lied for him.It seems that this comedian is really your confidant. Reagan: (wry smile) Well. He's right, I do have "agents". God Lee: Not only can you hire "agents" for lies, you can also find someone to represent you in subversion, coups, and murders in foreign countries, isn't it?What is it called?Call it "agent country"?

Reagan: In my experience with filmmaking, an agent is a stand-in.Being a stand-in is actually just as real. God Lee: During your second presidential campaign in 1975, you said that you witnessed a black guy serving on a Navy ship who used a machine gun to fight the enemy during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, which resulted in the deconstruction of the US military. quarantine policy.In fact, the U.S. military did not desegregate until President Truman issued an executive order in 1948.Also, you've never been to Hawaii, and of course you haven't seen the black man.what do you say?

Reagan: (wry smile) Well. God Lee: In 1985, you were in the World Congress answering questions from demonstrators protesting US policy toward Nicaragua.You say they don't know what they're talking about because they haven't been to Nicaragua and you have.In fact, you've never been to Nicaragua either.what do you say? Reagan: (wry smile) Well. God Lee: You told Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and later Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal that you made a documentary about Nazi death camps at the end of World War II .In fact, until 1949 when you went to England to make a film, you never left the gates of the United States.what do you say?

Reagan: (wry smile) Well. God Li: After you were assassinated and before the operation, you told your star wife who was superstitious about astrology, you forgot to dodge, now, there are too many of the same tricks, and you can't dodge.Yes or no? Reagan: I once presented a statistician's estimate that during my presidency I saw an average of 80 people a day, for a total of almost 250,000 people.God Lee can't ask me to remember everything. God Lee: I don't ask you to remember what happened, I ask you not to remember what didn't happen. Reagan: I think I'll get my memory back in that direction.

God Lee: Remember what you said on April 9, 1986? This mad dog of the Middle East. Reagan: (Laughs) Remember, I was the one who called the Libyan dictator. God Lee: Do you remember West Berlin on April 5, 1986?Terrorists bombed a discotheque, killing a U.S. service member and injuring 60 others.You call him a "mad dog in the Middle East". On April 14, you ordered the bombing of the Libyan cities of Tripoli and Benghazi.The little girl of the Mad Dog in the Middle East was killed and her two sons were injured in the raid.You Americans always say that terrorists hurt innocent people, but is your little daughter innocent?According to your American moral standards.

Reagan: (wry smile) Well. God Li: You have to talk, don't always smile bitterly, always say Well, since the court session, I have seen you smile bitterly 5 times, and say Well 5 times. Reagan: (smiling bitterly) Well. I try not to smile bitterly. God Lee: I just said that you had never been out of the United States before 1949. Is it true? Reagan: It's true. God Lee: How strange, in the minds of the American people, you Reagan fought overseas, and even in 1946, you came back to Hollywood and were welcomed back as a fighting hero, how did that happen? Reagan: Probably because people saw the movie where I was on the front line in uniform.

God Lee: Where the hell were you during World War II? Reagan: I was on a studio stateside. God Lee: You served in the studio?Didn't leave the country at all? Reagan: That's the truth.I was assigned to serve at Fort Mason in San Francisco for a while, and then I was transferred to the First Motion Picture Unit in the Army Air Corps, at Herlock ( Hal Roach) studio work. God Lee: In the films you make, you are always on the front line. Reagan: Yes. God Lee: News reports also reported that your wife Jane Wyman bravely went to the front line to meet the heroic you, and in an interview, you said that you hope the war will end soon so that you can go home and stay with your wife. In fact , but you go home every night to see your wife.

Reagan: The news is going to be reported that way, so I have to say that. God Lee: You told a lie, and no one else told it for you? Reagan: (Nods.) God Lee: Nor did Bob Hope speak for you. Reagan: (laughs) Bob Hope can't tell a lie, because when he tells a lie, no one will believe the truth. (Laughter.) God Lee: This is your American hero production method. It was originally produced in a studio, and the produced hero must be hidden and cannot be exposed, because he should be at the forefront and cannot be at home in California. Reagan: (wry smile) Well. God Lee: However, you don't have to be too embarrassed, because there is someone who sympathizes with you.

Reagan: Who? God Lee: Another movie star, John Wayne.He played American soldiers in World War II, made the film about the battle on Iwo Jima, and everyone regarded him as a hero.In fact, he hasn't been in the military for a day, and he certainly hasn't been to Iwo Jima.So yeah, he will sympathize with you. Reagan: (suddenly realizes) Oh. God Lee: In March 1945, during the Second World War, nine months before your discharge, you and your wife, the couple separated by the war in the movie, adopted a son Michael ( Michael), isn't it? Reagan: (embarrassed) I'm sorry.Others fought on the front lines, but we adopted our sons in the rear. God Lee: You are called "Teflon President" (Teflon President) because you are smooth and not sticky, you are invulnerable, and you have the ability to skillfully separate yourself from the problems you face.After reading your military service record, I have a clearer understanding of your Teflon skills. Reagan: In fact, "President Teflon" is not so easy to do. It requires good eloquence and poor memory. God Li: No one can say anything about these two points. In terms of eloquence, you are called the Great Rhetorician (great orator), not to mention that you have such a good acting talent. You have acted in 56 movies, although many people in the United States say you are second-rate Celebrity. Reagan: (laughs) My ex-wife was first-rate, she won an Oscar. God Li: Your good luck can be summed up in two sentences: you survived a catastrophe, and survived a major case.When you were stabbed, your body could not escape the bullet, but your heart escaped; when you illegally sold weapons, you secretly sold weapons to Iran in exchange for American hostages taken by terrorists in Lebanon.You have publicly promised many times that you will never deal with terrorists, because it will cause more terrorist acts; you have also publicly put pressure on other countries not to sell weapons to Iran, because that will increase its arrogance.But in fact, you, the United States, secretly sold weapons to Iran.And, the problem doesn't stop there, you secretly transferred the surplus of arms sales to the guerrillas in Nicaragua. This is the Iran-Contra affair.Iran is the head of the terrorist state appointed by Reagan. It aided the guerrillas to overthrow the Sandin regime in Nicaragua and was banned by Congress, but you both broke the law and recklessly. But you are lucky, this case is uglier and more serious than the "Watergate case" You escaped the case. Reagan: (Nods.) God Lee: Would you like to listen to two passages you said on July 1, 1985: 1. "Terrorists must listen carefully, we will fight back against you in Lebanon and elsewhere. We will attack you The despicable actions of the American people and property will be retaliated." (Terrorists be on notice: we will fight back against you in Lebanon and elsewhere. We will fight back against your cowardly attacks on American citizens and property.) We will not stand by until the international community fulfills its responsibilities.” (We will not rest until justice is done. We will not rest until the world community meets its responsibility.) Are you the one who said these two paragraphs? Reagan: (Nods.) God Li: But does the act of secretly selling weapons to the other party reconcile with what you said? Reagan: (embarrassed) In exchange for the American hostages, I have no choice. God Lee: You have a choice. Your original plan was to sell TOW antitank missiles (TOW antitank missiles) to Iran with fake hands, and then supply them to Israel, right? Reagan: (shakes head) I really can't remember. God Lee: Let me help you remember.A small arms delivery was completed on August 20, 1985, but Iran insisted that the hostages would not be released until all the towed missiles had been received.The second delivery was made on September 14, 1985, but Iran only complied with part of the deal: only one hostage was accepted, but the US could choose which one to release, remember?You chose William Buckley, the director of the CIA intelligence station in Beirut.The Iranians replied that Barkley was too ill to be released, but in fact Barkley died in June.Finally, instead of releasing the priest Benjamin Weir, remember? Reagan: (Nods.) God Lee: You've been played around by Iran, and it's not over yet.Iran offered new conditions to buy HAWK antiaircraft missiles in exchange for hostages.At this time, the hot potato fell on Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, so the incident expanded, and finally evolved to use illegally obtained money from Iran to buy illegal weapons to aid the illegal Nicaraguan rebels.As a result, the incident was revealed, you were investigated, and you completely forgot that you really know how to act. You asked everyone: "If you can remember what you did on August 8, 1985, please raise your hand." It seems that the arms sale to Iran was secretly approved. Just one small decision that is easy to forget. Reagan: (wry smile). God Lee: Anyway, you are lucky. CIA leader Casey got a malignant brain tumor on December 15, 1986 and could not speak; he died on May 6 of the following year, with all his secrets.Casey was going to die, and at the right time.You are in luck.In comparison, what are Nixon's cover-ups and lies? Reagan: My motive is very simple, just to rescue the hostages. God Lee: Just rescue the hostages?Then why are you aiding the Nicaraguan rebels?Does Nicaragua have your hostages? Reagan: (thinks for a moment) Frankly, no.But aiding the Nicaraguan rebels is what the American people want.Look at what North, 43 years old, testified under oath in Congress on July 7, 1987. How confident and applauded he was. He is a hero in the hearts of Americans because he put weapons, ammunition, tank parts, Fighter planes and missiles were secretly sold to Iran, and the proceeds from the arms sales were used to fund the Nicaraguan rebels fighting their leftist government.He is a hero and he is supported by the people.North phenomenon, explains everything. God Lee: What does it mean?It shows that you in the United States, from President Reagan to Lieutenant Colonel North, to the applauding people, you have no principles and no respect for the law. You sell weapons to people you shouldn't sell, and send weapons to people you shouldn't , A scandal involving the Middle East to China and the United States, the remaining credit of the United States has been ruined by you, and you are so proud of it!do you know? (Takes out a piece of paper) According to the statistics of your House Sub-Committee on Civil Service, the number of people you have used is as many as 225, which is the highest in the United States. Unprecedented in history.President Harding's Teapot Dome scandal and President Nixon's Watergate scandal are no match for you.Among the people you used: National Security Adviser Richard Allen was forced to resign after accepting $1,000 from a Japanese journalist; CIA Director William Casey was investigated for insider stock trading; Max Hugel was forced to resign for illegal stock trading; Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Thayer was indicted for insider trading and resigned; first Attorney General William F. Smith ) concealed tax returns and was investigated; Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan (Raymond Donovan) defrauded the New York City government of $7.4 million and was prosecuted, the first person ever to be prosecuted by a serving cabinet member; Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Anne Gosu Anne M. Gorsuch defied the House of Representatives and was forced to resign; White House assistant Michael Deaver, known as the "honorary son" of the Reagans, lobbied for Trans World Airlines and accepted $250,000. Prosecuted; the second Attorney General Edwin Meese III (Edwin Meese III) was investigated many times due to property transactions and conflicts of interest.The biggest one is that in the Iran-contra scandal case, those who perverted the law were hit one after another. Your moral image when Reagan was in power was too bad and ridiculous, you know?And you yourself, besides doing the wrong thing, follow your wife to believe in astrology, which is really like what you ignorant movie stars do. Reagan: My wife believes in astrology. God Lee: Don't you believe it?Your presidential calendar is all through "the witch" Joan Quigley (Joan Quigley) right?Is this how you run the country? Reagan: As politicians, we lean on anything we can lean on. God Lee: No principles?Irrational?Is it too dangerous?Your National Security Council advisor Michael Leden, in his book Perilous Statecraft, describes a meeting in which you blurted out: "I don't care about jail time, I want hostages Come out." (I don't care if I have to go to Leavenworth I want the hostages out.) Is it true?Do you still have American law and Congress in your eyes? Reagan: I was cornered, I had no choice. God Lee: So you chose the most dangerous and ugly one, which is called the Iran/Nigeria scandal or the Iran/Nigeria scandal, which is the Irangate case compared with the Watergate case. Reagan: Nicaragua is our neighbor, and we don't like their leftist government. God Lee: Why do you want to decide their government again and again for three generations of neighbors?How many legitimate, democratic governments of your neighbors have you overthrown?Why are you so overbearing?In the end, you actually used a quarter of the money you secretly sold weapons to the Iranian government you don’t like, and gave it to the pro-American guerrillas in Nicaragua. If you can't cover it up, burn the documents and make a fake record. Do you want to hear the report of your congressional investigation (take out a piece of paper)?One of the paragraphs said: "As a result of taking the initiative against Iran, only 3 American hostages were released and replaced by 3 others. On the one hand, Iran was armed and provided with 2,004 towed tank missiles and more than 200 sets of important parts for launching Eagle missiles. , On the other hand, exploiting improper financial resources for Nigeria Tour... creating profits for arms sales brokerage companies, these profits actually belong to American taxpayers." Did you hear that, what do you say? Ronald Reagan: In order to rescue the hostages, we will inevitably be deceived; in order to protect our neighbors, we will inevitably send money in transit. God Lee: Just admit that you were fooled.But you said that you sent money to Nicaragua, but what you sent was money to the illegal guerrillas who overthrew the legitimate government of the country. Reagan: Sending money is a peaceful way. We in the United States love peace with our neighbors. God Lee: Peace to your neighbor, what did you do on October 25, 1983?You land 7,500 troops in Grenada to overthrow the government of your neighbor.Grenada is the smallest country in the Western Hemisphere, with a population of 100,000 and an area of ​​344 square kilometers. You have a large army, and you are absolutely hardworking. Why don't you send money? Reagan: (shaking his head) It's too late to send money, they are going to establish a leftist government. (Laughter.) God Lee: April 18, 1983, did you feel special about this day? Reagan: April 18, 1983?I don't think there is any special feeling.Should I have it?Today is my day. God Lee: I think you should.You Americans only think of 911, but forget "418". On April 18, 1983, an Arab suicide bomber drove a truck full of explosives into your US embassy in Lebanon, killing 17 of you Americans in the same way.As soon as this case started, the model of mutual suicide became more consistent, and more than 1,500 Americans were killed time and time again.The most exciting time was 911, and the mode of killing each other made the most money. Reagan: 9/11 did not happen while I was in office. God Li: But you have a share in the evil causes and consequences. Reagan: We in the United States are not afraid of terrorists, we fight against them. God Lee: Right?Including killing the Libyan leader's 15-month-old girl? Reagan: Little girl?She is an adopted daughter. God Li: Don't you also adopt a son?What about adoptive daughters?Should it be blown up? Reagan: This is to sanction terrorists. God Li: Using blind bombing to sanction others, isn't he a terrorist?After your bombing, many countries in the world said that you, the United States, are terrorists. Reagan: There are three exceptions, the United Kingdom, Israel, and South Africa. God Li: You really know how to find helpers.Use the devil to prove you're not the devil? Reagan: (Laughs.) God Li: Also, why did you blow up a pharmaceutical factory in Libya?As a result, there is no medicine for children in this country to get sick. Reagan: Our intelligence thought it was a chemical weapons factory. God Lee: Your intelligence is very strange, and you specifically bombed the wrong place. Ronald Reagan: Oh, but I'm much more honest than the time President Clinton allegedly bombed the Chinese embassy by mistake. (Laughter. Clinton looks down and smiles.) God Li: Could it be that the "witch" pointed you out again? Reagan: Joan Quigley didn't tell me that.At least not that time. (Laughter.) God Lee: After you retired, you moved to No. 666, St. Cloud Road, but because of superstition, you changed No. 666 to No. 668. Was it the advice of the "witch"? Ronald Reagan: 666 is the devil's number, everyone is familiar with it, and my wife knows it without Joan Quigley. (Laughter.) God Lee: You are so superstitious, it is doubtful that you have anything to do with Voodoo? Reagan: That's ridiculous. God Lee: When you were fighting for the nomination, your opponent at the time, Bush Sr., called you "voodoo economics". Reagan: He later became my vice president, so he stopped scolding me. Bush Sr.: (stands up) Please God Lee accept my protest, I never said the phrase "voodoo economy". God Lee: Didn't you say that?How dare you say you never said it?You denied it, but NBC News found the tape of you saying this. You can't let it go, and today you went to the "Last Judgment" court to complain. You are too shameful!you sit down. (Bush Sr. sits down.) Reagan: (to Bush Sr.) Vice President, unless you have "Alzheimer's disease" (Aizheimer's disease), you'd better be honest with me. (Laughter.) God Lee: February 7, 1986, what does this date mean to you? Reagan: I really don't remember, God Lee asked me this way, I suspect I have "Alzheimer's disease". (Laughter.) God Lee: Didn't you announce on November 5, 1994 that you had "Alzheimer's disease"? Reagan: Oh, I forgot. God Lee: President Ford recalled that he came to see you at your home at No. 668, but you didn't know him anymore. Reagan: (turns to stare at Carter) Is that you?It seems that there is nothing wrong with not knowing you. Carter: (pointing to Ford beside him) He is Ford, you mistook him. (Laughter.) Reagan: I don't think I mistook one person, but two in a row. (Laughter.) God Lee: Back to February 7, 1986, you forgot, let me help you describe that scene.Like a spy novel.Listen to this transcript (takes out a piece of paper): At two o'clock in the morning on February 7, 1986, several American diplomats stood on the dark runway of Haiti's Francois Duvalier International Airport, waiting impatiently. A US Air Force C-141 Starship The giant Starlifter just landed, its engines rumbling, ready for a quick takeoff.The day before, Haiti's lifelong president, Jean-Claude Duvalier, urgently called the U.S. embassy, ​​asking the U.S. to help him and his family escape the country.At 3:46 in the morning, the C-141 rushed out of the runway, carried the Duvalley family and 17 cronies into the night sky, and flew to France to live the leisurely life in exile.After the United States helped Duvalier Jr. escape, Haitians destroyed Papa Doc's marble and granite mausoleum in hopes of finding the late dictator's body.After discovering that Du's father's body had been moved to another place, they surrounded the tomb of a close friend of Du Huali, dragged out the body, and chopped off the head and limbs.The angry crowd also pulled out the tyrannical private militia of Du Huali and his son-the notorious National Security Army (Tontons Macoutes)-burned or hacked them alive, and killed 100 people who had supported the old The regime's voodoo priests.No one is surprised by the brutality of these attacks, because Dad Du and Du Huali, Jr. have relied on 29 years of massacres in a row to keep their power for a long time.This type of dictator supported by the United States basically relies on voodoo methods. For example, Papa Du went to capture his spy chief Clement Barbot, surrounded Barbot's house, shot through the house with machine guns, and then He kicked open the gate, and as a result, a black dog sprang out, but Barbot was not found.Dad Du immediately explained this phenomenon with voodoo, and believed that the black dog that jumped out just now was transformed by Barbot, so Dad Du ordered the killing of black dogs across the country. This is a masterpiece of people supported by the United States.The average life expectancy of the Haitian people is less than 33 years old. One tenth of the newborn babies are stillborn, and at least one third of the children will die by the age of five due to malnutrition and related diseases.The United States has always supported the dictator in Haiti, and the United States helped Du Huali take away as much as 900 million U.S. dollars. Did you hear me (put down the paper), President Reagan, you were the one who helped Du Valli escape. Can you imagine that the Haitian people don’t hate you, the United States?This is what happened to the Haitian people when they became neighbors with the United States!After Du Huali escaped, you publicly said that the United States did nothing but provide Du Huali with a plane. Do you know that helping a dictator who has ruined the country and the people to empty the treasury and evade justice is also an outrage yes. Reagan: The United States only provided one plane. Is it so serious? God Lee: Why does the United States always provide a plane?Why are you always in charge?As for Ferdinand E. Marcos from the Philippines, you also sent him out of the country on a plane, didn’t you?The only difference with Du Huali Jr. is that Marcos abducted 10 billion US dollars, and you Americans helped him hide it. You support dictators and treat Filipinos like this. Reagan: Oh. God Lee: The "Last Judgment" court checked your records. It is really evil, but you have a movie star style. You do bad things, but they are beautifully packaged. to California. On February 5, 1969, you, the governor of California, declared a state of emergency and dispatched the California Highway Patrol to the Berkeley campus to protect the campus from "anarchist criminals" and "off-campus revolutionaries." On May 15, the demonstrations turned into bloody riots, in which a 25-year-old student was shot dead, many were injured and hundreds were arrested.You also mobilized the National Guard.Berkeley was unofficially placed under martial law for 17 days.How is your way of killing students and imposing martial law different from your way of condemning others?However, you are so good at packaging that people ignore that you are an executioner.how do you explain Reagan: (smiling) I was ignored, maybe I didn't look too much like the executioner. (Laughter.) God Lee: You're like a Buffalo Bill of the Western rogue.At least Castro sees you that way, basically, you are a belligerent and a warmonger. Reagan: As I said as early as 1982: "America's leaders in the nuclear age, including those of us who lead America now, have to realize that a nuclear war can't be won by anyone and shouldn't be Happen." Would I engage in nuclear war?Will I be so belligerent? God Lee: According to what you say, you won't; according to what you do, you will, at least you will force others to do so. Reagan: I will force people to do it? God Li: You will force others to do so.You have disrupted the balance of terror. What kind of "Star Wars program" (Star Wars program) and strategic defense initiative (Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI) are you doing? Reagan: We in the United States have the sincerity to maintain the balance of arms. God Lee: Sincerity?balance? On March 23, 1983, when your "Strategic Defense Initiative" was vigorously launched, did you consider that you, the United States, viciously disrupted the balance and flagrantly violated the 1972 "Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty" (ABM Treaty).You also argued at the time that the Star Wars program was still subject to the "broad" interpretation of the ABM Treaty, which allowed testing, development, and deployment of new technologies for strategic defense purposes.You're being ridiculous at all. Reagan: Even if what God Lee said is true, in order to bring down the Soviet Union, we in the United States have to do this. God Li: I don’t think the primary purpose is to bring down the Soviet Union. The primary purpose is to extend your huge “military-industrial collusion” in the United States, and constantly develop new weapons to collect taxes and trade, and make a lot of money with a “sense of crisis”.Demonize and terrorize the Soviet Union, and your military will not worry about the lack of financial resources in the arms industry.The development of new weapons can never be finished, and the next thing is that the world will never find peace. Will the Soviet Union be dragged down?The Soviet Union has become smaller and has become Russia, will it stop there? Reagan: Judging from the results, we dragged down the Soviet Union after all. God Lee: In fact, you have also dragged yourself down.Don't forget that after you became president, the US fiscal deficit has tripled, and it has changed from the world's largest creditor country to the largest debtor country.On the surface, you have brought military superpower to the United States, but economically, you have brought disaster.From February 22, 1946, George Kennan (George Kennan) sent Long Telegram No. 551 from the Moscow Embassy to Washington, and he published it in the Foreign Affairs Quarterly (Foreign Affairs) under the pseudonym "X" the following year Great article.The United States has been using grand strategy to besiege its enemies all the way. In 1950, after Kennan, Paul Nitze directed Document No. 68 (NSC-68), which was more aggressive to overthrow Mount Taishan... The following series of thinking were to use the arms race to bring down the Soviet Union.After the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States repeated its old tricks to bring down China, but it is not so easy to bring down China. You, the United States, will collapse first. Reagan: The foundation of the United States is still very solid. God Lee: No matter how thick you are, you can't help it.The economic beliefs of the United States were originally based on the Puritans, who valued frugality, and evolved into a typical Franklin style. Even if they are not very Puritan, they still value frugality.Although the founding fathers of the United States were all wealthy, they also took some equality into consideration and developed a "small peasant democracy" concept of equality. Although they were bloody towards red people and black people, the theory of equality is still on their hearts and lips.Unfortunately, two Britons brought down the Americans, one Darwin (Charles Darwin) and one Ricardo (David Ricardo).The evolution of "survival of the fittest" and "iron law of wages" is generally called "Social Darwinism" (Social Darwinism), and the concept of equality has evolved into the concept of strong beams.The concept of strong beams only creates inequality in the United States. "Inequality in the United States" does little harm. As the United States grows bigger, especially the rich and powerful I Wu Weiyang, the worst phenomenon appears. The United States has created "world inequality." Equality", due to the hegemony of the United States after it became big, it has solidified and blocked inequality, and human beings have no room to turn around.This is the worst thing. In the past, the United States could not threaten the whole world, but now it has gained some hegemony. This is the biggest difference from the past.In the world in the past, you can still dream of the great dream of equality one day, but what about now?Not only is equality destroyed in fact, but even dreams are not allowed.Under your "voodoo economy" of President Reagan, not only the world is in chaos, but America itself is also in chaos.In today's world, the 1 billion people in the developed world own 80% of the global gross domestic product, and the remaining 20% ​​is distributed by the 5 billion people in other countries.86% of the world's consumption is concentrated in the hands of the richest 20% of the population; the poorest 20% of the population only accounts for 1% of the world's consumption, and with the development of globalization, the situation is getting worse, The poor will never turn over again, and if they turn over, they will still be poor.There is also globalization. The more global the world, the more immobile the poor will be. Ronald Reagan: The United States is a generous country, and it still depends on the United States, like the "Marshall Plan" (Marshall Plan). God Lee: Generous?Do you want to know the record of being stingy to others other than your own waste?Back then, under the Marshall Plan, you provided 3% of your gross national product for foreign aid every year, and you still had spare energy to fight the Korean War.Later, your economic aid has been reduced to 0.33% to 0.6%.Ranked 11th in the world in terms of the amount of economic aid, are you ashamed?This is still the record of the year.Later, the number 11 was gone, and it became the last, you know?The average American thinks the United States is generous and believes that their government spends 15% of the federal budget on foreign aid.In fact, of all the industrialized countries, the United States is actually the most stingy country.Your foreign aid allocations are only one-thirtieth of what everyone believes.Your gross national income is $11 trillion, and aid to poor countries is only 16 cents per $100 of that.If you add donations from non-governmental foundations and private channels, your total foreign aid is only 22 cents per 100 US dollars of national income. Your stinginess is number one in the world.President Reagan, how dare you talk about generosity?Let's not talk about generosity and talk about symbolic compensation.You, the United States, dropped 11 million tons of bombs on Vietnam, three times as much as they dropped on Germany and Japan in World War II, but did you pay Vietnam a dime?generous?Disgusting, right? Reagan: Oh, that's right. God Lee: A biographer wrote about you, saying: He was America, and he wasn't much else. (He is the embodiment of America, and there is nothing else to talk about.)
