The Real McCoy said:If we have the capacity to give more? What's our current budget defecit? Half a trillion dollars? Not to mention the fact that most of the countries who contribute more as a percentage of their GDP have almost no military to speak of because our tax dollars are being spent to defend them.
Good one. How much do they not have to spend on defense because we defend them? On top of that how about we count the work the CDC does around the globe. Or any number of intangibles such as the benefits the world gains in just about everything because of the United States leadership in all things scientific. Medicine, agriculture, our GPS satellites they get to mooch off of, the list is endless. So are you people really trying to say the US does not do far more than any other nation on Earth? "Oh percentage of GDP you cry?" Please. And how about how we allow them to have unfair trade with us so they can crawl into the 21st century. How much debt have we forgave? Put a dollar amount on Kuwait's freedom. Ask an Afghanistan women how much she would pay for the right to vote. Count the price of the school or hospital we have built in Africa as a one time expenditure. It's still there. Along with the people we trained to make it run. Put a price on knowledge. Add it all up and tell me where we come out. Stop arguing bullshit and just come out and say you hate America instead of making weak excuses for you to feel that way.
Who started this thread? Robin? I gotta go look. Friggin Garza UK. Figures. And Garza, we could give a rat's ass what you think even less than what the rest of the world thinks of us. They cash our checks. If they really hated us they would return them unsigned. Nice try in your latest in the long list of America bashing. How about you give me a link to a political site in your backwater Garza and I'll go there and trash whatever spittoon you live in. Turn about is fair play eh?
