ok some disagreed but what about u picking up the tab???

Question

I dont like picking up the tab for the Government does anybody out here? ...I think that they are corrupt enough and one gentleman on here that replied is right....Free Trade!!!! It has blown up in the Governments face and now we as citizens are having to pay ..a high cost at that ...dont know about you guys but me and my Husband are not rich but we do make ends meet with our children ..but it would be alot better if we didnt have to pay for immigrants college fund too! Bad enough we have to pay for criminals over here in prison . My question was to ask if I was wrong for thinking that way...not saying it was going to happen ...One girl was right that replied also ..I was just stating my opinion on how it would make it easier for everyone. BTW we dont have on a say how the money is spent with the Government..All I was saying is that if they are going to give the money away why not just give it to Mexico..I really dont see why both governments and the Mexican people dont work at it.

Answer 1

I think all the money we already give to Mexico doesn't go where it is intended. I think it mostly ends up in the hands of the already elite and well-to-do there, so no, I don't think it would be a good idea to send more money there. That's like throwing good money after bad. By the same token, I don't want to give our tax $ to illegal immigrants here, either. I want our tax $ to help our own needy citizens, of which there are a-plenty! We have seniors, working poor, homeless, etc. that should be helped BEFORE we give to other people of the world.

And, BTW, you are wrong - we DO so have a say on how our money is spent with Government - it's called ELECTIONS. You vote for the representatives who will do the will of the legal citizens of the country!

Answer 2

The Gettysburg Address
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
November 19, 1863


Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Answer 3

You know what You have a right to your own opinion. and we can think any way we want as long, we don't try to force it down into other people. Like the pro illegal or the pro amnesty people. That is my own opinion. But give the money to the Mexican Government and its people where have you been we are doing that already in foreign aid. What more do they want, other than all they can take.

Answer 4

You are right, it is disheartening to think that 12 July is tax free day.
The day that we are through paying taxes and actually start earning cash.
I would like to see our children taken care of first. Yes it is sad to think of other people suffering but their leadership needs to be changed, we should not be responsible for the whole world.
Wouldn't it be interesting to have to be a taxpayer in order to vote.
I think that would change politics.
