Now I in no way feel that we should not take care of others who are in need, It is the right thing to do from a moral and social standpoint but where do we draw the line at? Right now our government is allocating funds to keep the war going in Iraq it is sending money to the Tsunami victims in Asia and it seens that no matter how much these forign countries hate us they always have their fucking hands out or dipping deep into Uncle Sams pocket. Where does it stop. Do a serch on Google and you can see how much has been spent so far of AMERICAN money to aid these people. Now don't get me wrong I believe that helping others is a noble thing to do but what about these other governments who sit on their collective asses and don't do a damn thing for their own people. Why should we be the caretakers of the world when 9 times out of 10 our own people here are hungry,unemployed, living on the streets don't have medical insurance or even a hand out. We have all done it at one point or another seen the guy on the side of the road or right on the interstate exit with the cardboard sign "hungry please help" and said fuck that get a job you lazy bastard, now granted there are lots of them that are just lazy and are scamming you but there is a percentage that really needs the help where is their aid? How about right here in Florida we had 4 hurricanes hit this year and where is our aid? there are still people who are living in hotels or with relatives because their houses aren't fixed yet why is that? And to boot homeowners insurance went up this year to coincide with the hurricanes nice huh? What about the teen that is hooked on drugs or is homeless where is that Teens help? The police are understaffed and over worked granted they have huge chips on their shoulders and most people could care less for the police but look at the image they portray.
We have senior citizens who are living on less than $500 a month and that need to pay for their medicines their homes and their basic necessities to live now how many people do you know that can live on $500 a month unless they are a teenager working at Micky Ds and living at home. So when I say Fuck Iraq I don't mean the people who live there I mean fuck being there they don't want us there and we don't want to be there. So here is a simple plan all these countries that hate us and talk shit about us its time to collect on your bitch asses. No more aid any monies that is owed to our country pay it back pull out all and I mean all American business that are located overseas and bring them back home fuck their economies what about ours? Lastly close our borders to any further immigrants tax the shit out of goods that come into our country and lets rebuild America once more. With the exception of friendly nations of course. We have been too damn soft with our policies and have let the majority of these countries walk all over us and yet we are expected to be tolerant. The time has come for everybody to clean up their own back yard before they go knocking on their neighbors door... So Fuck the middle east let them sort out their own problems they are not domestic so its not our fight. Screw sending any further aid to Tsunami victims let their government help themselves.
Combining public and private donations puts total U.S. development assistance in the range of $35 billion per year, or about 0.32 percent of U.S. income. In other words, for every $3 of income, the United States provides about one cent in development assistance. Even with this broader measure (and using the larger estimate of U.S. private assistance without making a similar adjustment for other countries), the United States ranks, at best, 15th among the top donors.

The United States sends billions of dollars in supplies, labor, and actual funds to other countries each year. Even though we are experiencing record unemployment, increased racial tension, skyrocketing infant mortality rates, woeful underfunding of education, crumbling infrastructure and a record budget deficit that will probably mortgage our grandchildren's grandchildren, we are still sending the taxpayer's hard earned money to countries thousands of miles away. The question remains: if the government has billions of dollars to spend on these other countries, then why are Americans suffering at home? These funds need to stay in our own country to help fight these domestic problems. Not only should we keep this money at home, but United States officials need to consider reallocation of current funds.

another link to look into to.
There are tons of others just do a web search. Open your minds and realize that its time that the United States started acting like the United States and be united in the cause of helping each and every one of its citizens first and foremost before handing out aid to someone else miles away who proably doesn't even appreciate it. Those late night comercials that say please won't you help that has the nicely dressed American actor pleading for money for some 3rd world country call them and ask why doesn't that actor give his earnings from one movie for aid to those people and shut the fuck up and quit pulling on the collective American heart strings to empty their wallets.
The Wage Problem
January 23, 2004

The Bush Administration touts a decrease in the overall unemployment rate as proof the economy is healthy. But the major reason for the decrease is that thousands of the jobless have simply stopped looking for work because the economy is so bleak. But just as troubling is the downward pressure on wages for those who are working. And the data shows that the Administration's tax cuts for the wealthy have done little to deal with this very serious problem.
