Feed a man a fish you have fed one man, Teach a man to fish you can feed a village. Why do we as a nation continue to send dollars to foreign countries when we have our own people starving, Our own illiteracy problem, our own drug problem. And why is it that after we support country after country they turn on us! I say good for our Big Mac eating Capitalistic , profit grabbing, conservative, free loving,
treadmill walking society. And to hell with the rest of these money grabbing socialistic deprived countries that can only stick out their hand in need and never attempt to do anything for themselves. We as a nation can not continue to feed the world. It's time to shut off the tap, close the boarders to Illegals and treat all the countries that believe we are wrong in our ways the same. USA FIRST.

Goverments have no altruism, and they have no right to force altruism on its people.

Would you want me to create a tax to give money to homeless white supremecists in Germany? No, this is why it is wrong to use a goverment to form social policy.

If you want to be alturistic, fine, there are thousands of not for profits that want your help. Leave the goverment to 2 role only:
protection of its people
protection of its economy

Other people have their own goverment to look out for them.
