Why don't the Bush Pioneers just BUY Africa??

[SoCalDem]

He seems to have a gazillion rich "friends" and every time he opens his mouth, they shove money in his pants.. Why not just buy the whole world.. Then he can "evict" the 'evildoers' and 'bad hombres'..

It would save the taxpayers a lot of money and then he and his little pals could play empire for real..

1. Be patient!

They will as soon as they get the permanent, tax payer funded security bases installed.

2. You don’t really think he gives

a hoot about the taxpayers do you?

[SoCalDem]

3. Of course not, but it would be faster to just buy it

He certainly won't need all that money he's gonna raise..It would be a shame to see it all go to waste...and he's pretty much stripped the USA cupboards bare..

If he owned Africa, he could "quarrantine" all the aids infected people into , say, the sahara..he could put all those orphans to work making products for his pals, at say, 10 cents a day..

Bechtel, Halliburton & the Oily Boys would be in heaven.. Heck..Georgieporgie even has his very own soldiers to do his dirty work...

4. I think yer on to something.

No, I didn't say ON something...
on TO something.
We just buy the damned place.
Turn it into a huge Disney TarzanWorld.
And then we'd have all those houseboys and maids and cooks and yardmen and chauffers and dog walkers 'cause YOU know how hard it is to get good help any more.
Yowzh, yowzah.

5. Sad but true.

Africans would be better off that way.

6. that's what they're doing

they're just using our money instead of their own

[tom_paine]

7. Because they want to own the world using as little of their own wealth

as possible.

Besides, they can't go directly at their desires. That would have a "negative Q rating".

Like the Imperial Romans, our Emperor MUST maintain the vanity that Imperial Subjects are self-governing.

So the option you mention is out of the question.
