"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." - Benjamin Franklin;
"And when politicians find that honor and character matter less than buying votes and a constituency, that too will herald the end of the Constitution. When that happens we must work tirelessly to change their minds, or their occupation!" - Hoping The Blind Will See

Foriegn Aid: Decades Long Redistribution Of Wealth?

Can someone please tell me why America is in the Foreign Aid "business"? We shell out billions of dollars annually, and what do we get in return. Well these figures may not surprise you, but the fact that we keep handing out money after consistently being bitch-slapped should tell you something about the mentality of the American leadership over decades. If you actually follow the snopes link at the bottom, you will find that very few countries vote with us in the UN, and only one votes with us regularly - Israel. And obama is pretty much hanging that country out to dry. So, who authorized, and why did they authorize, the annual foreign aid to these countries? When did it start, and why is it still going on? Time to send another letter to my Senators and Representative...

How they vote in the United Nations:


Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.

US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:

Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually.

WHY? WHO IN THE HELL STARTED  THIS AND WHY? THESE COUNTRIES HAVE ACTUALLY BIT THE HAND THAT'S BEEN FEEDING THEM.

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice just so our government can send those tax dollars overseas. (And don't forget the price they charge for oil/gasoline, and the collusion that goes on to set those prices).

Pass this along to every taxpaying citizen you know. Disgusting isn't it?
