How Our Taxes are Spent.

Top Song in Australia
 
Needs to be adopted here in the U S !  
Great Song--you'll like the  beat and message. 
 It seems like every country with an Islamic population has problems with these people.
  LORD, help us!
 This would never be allowed in the USA or Canada.
 




Hello Friends, and Readers,
     I have always wondered and tried to figure out just WHY the USA, gives so much or our [my] hard earned money/ taxes away to so many nations with little or nothing in return.   And many of these countries routinely bad mouth and even threaten us.   Well, here is that old saying that we learned in the Army...... "Ours is not to ponder why --- ours is but to do or die."    And so it is, even in Republican Administrations,  that the right hand doesn't even know what the left hand is doing.   
    But I did just the same thing in my life circumstances,  thinking and thanking Almighty God in Heaven, for my good gifts of income after working hard all my life.   That I gave to those who came to me and needed it/ money for doctor bills, food, and medicine for their family,  and after I "fell from grace" in their eyes and became homeless for a very short time,  did they ever give me a dime, or the time of day ??  Ha!  NOT !   Except for maybe one or two people, including my own flesh and blood family !   THIS TIME,  I feel that I learned my lesson !    I don't even Tithe that much these days.... after what happened at 'another place of worship.'   I am sure that those old places can get along with out me just fine.  And if they can't --- that's OK, too.    For a fact,  I am in deep debt right now, and need to pay attention to my own challenges.   I am climbing out of debt as fast as I possibly can.  


Well,  Winter in the U.P. is certainly NOT over yet !   And I just read some news that this kind of freaky, up and down temperatures, weather makes it harder for our bodies to keep up with the changes, and we get worn out and tired.   I think it's best to take vitamins and the proper herbs, also eat good, fresh food if possible.   But, again, that is just my personal opinion.  


Have a great day.

Why do we US taxpayers allow our hard-earned money to be forcibly taken and given to other nations, many of whom are unfriendly or even our enemies?  How stupid are we and how long are we going to allow it to go on?

The amount of money we dole out to other nations is horrendous
​.
 
​For example, if ​
Mexico doesn't want to cooperate to end illegal immigration?  OK, don't give them $400-500+
​M
illion each year
​ and use it to build the wall.​


 Mexico  $417.8M - $560.6M  (2012 & 2013)
However, that's chump change compared to the $1B+ Brazil raked in in 2013, Burkino Faso's $1B+ in 2012 & 13, >$2.5B in both yrs. to Congo, >
​$​
3B to Ethiopia,
​$​
2.6-3.2B to Kenya,
​$​
1.1 to Malawi,
​$​
2.1-2.3 to Mozambique...!  The list goes on and on and on.

What
​and where ​
are Burkino Faso, Malawi, Palau, Myanamar, Lesotho, Kiribati, Djibouti...and what can they do for us? Why do we care?
​  Don't we have legitimate needs here at home?​


Look at the following list and then ask why?  What do we get in return from most of them?  Next, why do we stay in the UN and pay 22% of its budget?  Send it to Brussels!
