Quote by: charlatan But like I have said a lot of times, give a man food and he will live to see tommorow to seek food from you again, bearing children that do the same. It all stems from urbanisation, where people see the city as a way out of doing their daily things, and that leaves us with people who no longer take care in what they do as they know that there will be a aid wagon along shortly, and hence the 'poverty' grows. That is the problem, if they were all dead there would be no problem would there? So do you keep people in poverty or set them free? In time they may return to living the way they were before the poverty, hopefully. |

Quote by: MB Well, there you go, evidence that the man is a full blown commie, and that his intentions are larger than his jurisdiction.
Anybody that votes for this clown can consider themselves no friend of mine. |
Aww, and I was so hoping for a second date...(you decide your friends based on who they vote for? What the hell is America coming to where people get so locked in...ah whatever.)
I actually have no opinion on this because I don't pay taxes. However I think this needs a devil's advocate.
It isn't a huge tax increase, and it is in self-defense. If you think this is huge, you should know In percentage of GNP spent, America ranks not toward the bottom, you are the bottom.
We live in an interdependent world and we should act like it. Especially at time when people are complaining about immigrants crossing the boarders.
"We should cross borders to build sustainable Democracies that can banish privation and fear. And we should cross borders to bring food and medicine and roads and schools and teachers to parts of the world forgotten by all but the warlords...And America's going to lead the world and not just bully it."
Wouldn't that make a nice change?
Oh and I also want to dispel misinformation about foreign aid. The general average person thinks that 15% of the federal budget to be foriegn aid. It makes up less then 1% of the federal budget. It has been cut by 50%.
As for people relying on foreign aid...I'd rather that then have them pointing guns at us or others. Turmoil costs money and instability has political backlashes. The problem is that the people who benefit don't answer American polling questions.
Again, I actually don't have an opinion.
