Why should our taxpaying money go to helping others out when we have American citizens who cant afford to buy food and clothing and are living on the streets. America needs to take care of Americans first. I also wish this countries leaders would tell the UN where to go. The UN is one of the biggest if not the biggest waste of an organization there is. All they do is cry USA please help us out. Who is supplying most of the peace keeping troops? What about giving the most aid? Someone tell me has the UN done anything?

here's an analogy for you. you come to thanksgiving dinner, you and everyone else brings a dish. but your cousin, who lost his job and can't afford much doesn't bring anything. you tell him he can't eat? i apologize if that's a poor analogy, but i think your argument that 'haiti did nothing' etc, is absolutely ridiculous. what exactly is it that you think they should have done for us following 9-11 or katrina? these people can't help themselves, but you expect them to help us? we don't need anyone else's help. that would be like bill gates having his hand out at the salvation army. but, luckily for us who were lucky enough to be born in this country, we have the ability to help out others when they need it. i don't begrudge what aid we can send, nor should we stoop to the lesser amounts others give. we're better than that. there are other, more wasteful ways that the govt blows my money that i take great offense to. this i do not. those poor bastards had the great misfortune to be born in a place with 80% unemployment and no hope for better. now, they suffer this, and you're complaining? why don't you go to your sink right now, and poor yourself a glass of water-and thank your lucky stars that you could do that without a thought. they can't.
