If you wonder how bad it really is...it's really THIS bad. US engagement in the world is rarely altruistic or neutral, but it has been a critical partner and the biggest donor. Hundreds of thousands of people are immediately affected and as many will die if other donors & govts don't step up. Now.

138 NGO leaders say "It is unacceptable that taxing extreme wealth was not looked at before cutting UK aid." Exactly! It is morally wrong to harm the poorest -those experiencing famine, conflict, and disease before taxing billionaires & the super rich. #WealthTaxNow www.bond.org.uk/press-releas...
