達(dá)沃斯:奧巴馬臨陣缺席,,卡梅倫趁虛而入
????卡梅倫想給小企業(yè)“創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)的引擎,”讓他們免受歐盟繁重的監(jiān)管約束,。在美國(guó),,許多小企業(yè)提出,諸多監(jiān)管負(fù)擔(dān)(包括奧巴馬醫(yī)改費(fèi)用)在阻礙他們實(shí)現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng)的一系列因素當(dāng)中排在首位,。 ????卡梅倫計(jì)劃發(fā)揮表率作用,,倡導(dǎo)“主動(dòng)積極推動(dòng)自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定,包括歐盟與美國(guó)之間的一項(xiàng)自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定,。他認(rèn)為,,僅就歐盟而言,這項(xiàng)協(xié)定就將增加數(shù)百萬(wàn)個(gè)就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),。在奧巴馬總統(tǒng)執(zhí)政下,,美國(guó)與其他國(guó)家的自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定已經(jīng)陷于停頓。而與此同時(shí),,其他國(guó)家彼此間卻達(dá)成了許多雙邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定,。 ????奧巴馬現(xiàn)在或許專(zhuān)注于美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)事務(wù),但各種事件總有辦法干擾他的計(jì)劃——本周奧巴馬總統(tǒng)宣誓就職之后,,國(guó)務(wù)卿希拉里就去年9月班加西領(lǐng)館遇襲事件接受參議院外交委員會(huì)質(zhì)詢(xún),,而候任國(guó)務(wù)卿約翰?克里在參院外交委員會(huì)舉行的聽(tīng)證會(huì)上接受議員們的拷問(wèn)。但卡梅倫把充滿(mǎn)活力而自由的全球市場(chǎng)看作是一股正義的力量,。 ????卡梅倫已經(jīng)七次出席世界經(jīng)濟(jì)論壇,,其中三次是以英國(guó)首相的身份出席。對(duì)于具有民粹主義意識(shí)的奧巴馬總統(tǒng)而言,,出席達(dá)沃斯論壇會(huì)議的想法并不適合:達(dá)沃斯論壇會(huì)議是金融精英們的大本營(yíng),,是那1%階層中1%的頂尖人群,與會(huì)者都是那些“千萬(wàn)富翁和億萬(wàn)富翁”,。正如他喜歡提醒選民的那樣,,這些人并沒(méi)有分擔(dān)他們應(yīng)該分擔(dān)的那部分美國(guó)財(cái)政負(fù)擔(dān)。 ????然而卡梅倫很樂(lè)意挺身而出,主動(dòng)肩負(fù)起重任,,明確捍衛(wèi)自由市場(chǎng),,同時(shí)他大膽計(jì)劃要力促形成公平競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的環(huán)境。他說(shuō):“我對(duì)資本主義的熱情決不屈服于任何人,。我決不容忍那些企圖妖魔化成功人士的人,。”這番言論自然引出了一個(gè)問(wèn)題:卡梅倫這番并不那么委婉的話針對(duì)的是奧巴馬嗎,?(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) ????譯者:iDo98 |
????Cameron wants to give small businesses, "engines of job creation," an exemption from burdensome EU regulations. In the U.S., small businesses cite regulatory burdens -- including the costs of Obamacare -- at the top of the list of factors holding back their growth. ????Cameron plans to lead the charge on "actively, aggressively" pushing for free trade agreements, including one between the European Union and the U.S. that he said would mean millions of jobs – on his side of the pond alone. Under Obama, free trade deals have ground to a halt, even as other countries continue to churn out bilateral agreements with each other. ????Obama may be home-focused, but events have a way of interrupting that intention -- following the inauguration this week, legislators hosted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for a grilling on the attacks in Benghazi and Sen. John Kerry for a round of questions about potentially taking over Clinton's job. But Cameron sees a vigorous free global market as a force for good. ????Cameron has been to the WEF seven times; three as Prime Minister. For the populist-minded Obama, the optics of attending Davos don't fit: this is a viper's den of financial elites, the 1% of the 1%, brimming with "millionaires and billionaires" who -- he likes to remind voters -- don't carry their "fair share" of the nation's financial burden. ????But Cameron was more than pleased to step up to the plate as a clear champion of the free market, even as he makes bold plans to level the playing field. "I yield to no one in my enthusiasm for capitalism," he said. "I will have no truck with those who want to demonize the successful." Which begs the question: Did Cameron have his U.S. counterpart in mind with that not-so-subtle dig? |
