You know, it really doesn’t bother me when people living in
this country need a hand; we are
Americans and we should take care of each other if we can. (Of course, that is if you legitimately need
help and hopefully you will get off whatever assistance that you are on
eventually. I can’t imagine anyone
wanting to be on government assistance long - term and go through that rather
degrading process all of the time, but that’s just me.) What gets to me, is the fact that the people
in America, those whose ancestors shed blood on this soil to protect and
institute freedoms that no one else in history has ever had, or ever will have,
are taking a back seat to the rest of the world.
The fund will be replenished every 3 years, which means that the American tax payer will be paying indefinitely on this “tax” ....
I mean, it’s bad enough our military is in over 150
countries all over the world constantly fighting everyone else’s battles, but
now our illustrious leaders in Washington take money from us in the form of taxes
and just dole it out to whoever they want. Take the WorldBank Fund for example. Here we have
the United States government giving poor underdeveloped nations 3.2 billion
dollars in what would be basically called global welfare. The fund will be replenished every 3 years,
which means that the American tax payer will be paying indefinitely on this “tax”
for as long as the World Bank deems it is necessary.
So, Americans aren’t just paying for welfare
at home, we are paying for the rest of the world. Let us not forget that taxes, funds, or
whatever, rise just about every year, so while the American economy is taking a
dive we are handing out money to countries that have been in povertyville
since the dawn of man.
Now, we have another financial hemorrhage in the form of
taxes for Americans. You may remember
back in 2008 when the “Big Three” automotive corporations GM, Chrysler, and
Ford were on the verge of bankruptcy. That
bailout, believe it or not, was initiated by George W. Bush for 17.2 billion dollars
and designated to be handed out by the next administration under Obama. By the time Obama became president, the “Big
Three” had to file for bankruptcy and the auto makers took 25 Billion in loans. One of the companies that took that bailout
money, General Motors (GM) was able to stay solvent and prosper in America, or
did they really?
American companies that move their operations overseas get a tax break that American companies that stay in America don’t get.
As it turns out this past week,GM announced that it was making three new models of Cadillac vehicles and
they will be made in China. So basically,
what our leadership in Washington did was it took tax dollars away from the
American tax payer in an effort to save jobs and the economy, and what GM
actually did was invest that money in China.
Isn’t it nice to know that your tax dollars are fueling the Chinese
economy?
The really incredible part about all of this
is that rather than tell the Congress to tax the rich more, we should demand
that GM give those tax dollars back, with interest. Rather than constantly telling Americans
that they have to pay their fair share, why isn’t there a complaint about
taxing the companies that have left America and moved their operations to other
countries? American companies that move
their operations overseas get a tax break that American companies that stay in
America do not get. And while we are at it, why aren’t we
screaming bloody murder over the World Fund which is a lobal tax that we will
have to pay in the billions every three years, rather than looking at raising
more taxes oin Americans that are at home trying to make it?
Let’s face it, Americans would rather attack each other and
tax each other to death, than demand that the congress and senate take
care of their own.
