Sounds like the Obama administration, with its extreme-left policies facing wholesale defeat and rejection at home, are now working to spread socialism to other countries.
Hillary appears to be actively engaged in getting recipients of US aid, to change their internal domestic policies in exchange. And not for the better: Instead of making them get government out of the way of their people to let them work, produce jobs, and prosper, she is apparently telling them to hike taxes on their most productive people and "soak the rich", thus burdening those most capable of creating those jobs.
Limbaugh said many years ago, that if we really wanted to hurt other countries, we should export socialism to them.
Now we see (yet again), that when Limbaugh makes a joke about some silly notion or plan, it's only a matte of time before the liberal extremists start doing exactly what he said, in all seriousness!

Clinton warns Pakistan to make the rich pay up

WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States will set tougher conditions on its aid to foreign governments, including an expectation that rich foreigners won't skip out on their taxes while Americans bankroll things their nations need, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday.
The remarks were aimed largely at Pakistan, a major aid recipient.
"Countries that will not tax their elite who expect us to come in and help them serve their people are just not going to get the kind of help from us that historically they may have," Clinton said. She singled out Pakistan, where wealthy landowners typically pay little or no taxes.
Clinton's warning came as she and other Cabinet officials described aid and development policies President Barack Obama announced last week. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the higher bar for U.S. aid will help the U.S. get more for its money.
"Unless we are tougher on how we provide assistance, unless we look at those basic simple things, like are they running their country in ways that give us confidence that our resources will be used well, we should not be financing them at this level," Geithner said.
