Honestly I don't think I'm even going to touch that one. Some people are just way to easy.
Yes, I am easy.
As well as simple.
I am so laughing at this conversation.
It is YOU that is missing the point. It wasn't the American Government that sent all that money in that direction. It was the
American people who took money out of
our own personal pockets to send over there. Individuals who gave up a cup of coffee, or whatever it is we gave up, for awhile to help others. Many of us do it a lot. Republicans would love to tax us all to death. But if they did that, then we might not have money to help others with because we would not have enough for ourselves. Many people here in America already dont have enough for themselves for whatever reasons.
Yes is is the citizens of the United States that gave up their daily wants in order to send a grand total of about $45 million in donations to Haiti, but is it the United States Government that on January 14 announced it would give $100 million to the aid effort and pledged that the people of Haiti "will not be forgotten". Know what your government does before you try and justify your own acts. Just because you found a way to give up that five dollar cup of coffee one day a week, or a pack of cigs in a months time span, doesn't make you a saint. Try living on just the necessities and you'll see that you are just wasting money on frivolous things.
My parents were among the working poor when I was a child. Dont try to instruct me.
As to the instructing, I'm assuming you believe me to be instructing you on your daily spending habits, and that is not my intention. I am however advising that before you try to belittle another and falsely claim that they are wrong on a matter, that you take a few minutes and get all of the facts. Yes some people did give till it hurt, and yes that money could have been better or more wisely spent, but many just gave up a little something, they could do without in the first place, in order to donate just because they felt guilted into it, or because it was the trendy thing to do at the time. As to your parents being among the working poor, that has no significance to any of this. My parents too were among the working-class poor, and upon seeing that lifestyle, I have chosen and have striven for better for myself, as I would hope that you have. There are so many more that, that is all they know and all they are comfortable with, so they do not try and better themselves, they merely accept things as they are, or refuse to do better and still lust for more. They live outside their means, and put a financial strain on themselves, their families, and the rest of the tax paying populous.
