I've answered the questions twice ... but either you can't read ... or you just don't like what you're reading.
But ... since you're such a nice guy ... and you've been so courteous and understanding ... I'll answer your questions for the third time.
Our elected officials are supposed to use the money which our democratically-elected government ... controlled by its citizens under the rule of law ... collects in taxes ... in order to protect our freedom and insure our safety.
Now ... there are some very vicious people out there who ... now I know you don't believe this ... but that's just another one of your mistakes ... who want to murder all of us ... yes, even you. They really really do ... they want to mutilate and murder all of us ... and they've gotten a lot of practice by mutilating and murdering their co-religionists and fellow countrymen ... so they've become very skilled at murder and mutilation.
And these people can't be negotiated with. They are single-minded and totallly monomaniacal. The only way we can preserve our freedom ... our safety ... and our very lives ... is to fight back.
Now ... we can't be everywhere all the time ... so sometimes it's worthwhile to get some help in fighting these vicious murderers. There's a country called Israel ... populated by people with balls the size of grapefruits ... who can help us in this fight.
So ... what we do is send them some money and some supplies ... and they use it to blast the daylights out of some of the people who want to murder us.
This is actually a pretty good deal for us ... because it only costs about $7 billion per year ... which is 1/4 of 1% of everything that our federal government spends ... not even counting what our state and local governments spend.
See? We pay out a few bucks ... and they kill our enemies ... and in doing so ... they make it possible for people like you and your buddies ... with pea brains full of hatred ... to sit in comfort and safety ... and type out nonsense on your keyboards.
Now do you get it?
