ANGRY MINUTE #0026: Haitian Relief
I don’t understand our government or the people who stand by and agree with some of the most inept policies I have ever seen. And I know this article may paint me as a badguy (or a douchebag) yet I still will write it because it is what I believe.
I first want to start off by saying I feel for all those affected by the tragic 7.0 earthquake that rocked the island of Haiti last week. Thousands have died, are homeless, and have suffered severely from this tragedy. I pray to the FSM for their safety and hope that they may rebuild and move on past this horror.
But why in the BLUE HELL is our government handing out dollars like we print them (this is suppose to be an ironic statement as our government does print the money)? Where the FRAK are we getting all this money?
The government is meant to RUN THE FRAKING COUNTRY! You know, the one called USA?!?! The USA who has thousands starving on its own shores?!?! The USA who is throwing people out of there homes, forcing them onto the streets?!?! The USA that is Trillions (that’s with a T) of dollars in debt?!?! Yeah, that USA!
It sounds heartless but I have always been raised to take care of myself, and the United States of American is NOT even doing that! No, instead our government feels like it can save the world. Like it needs to protect everyone.
We are NOT the world’s protectors.
Now I’m all for private donors (like Wyclef and Sandra Bullock) donating relief to the island, but the USA does not have the money to go out and bail out another country. This is totally irresponsible!
Haiti is its own country, if it wanted our help they would be part of the United States of America and they would pay taxes and contribute to the melting pot called USA. Our government should only be helping AMERICANS, if others want or need our help I’m sure we can come to an agreement on a loan OR private donors can donate. The government should NOT be a private donor because WE ARE NOT PRIVATE! We need to stop bailing people out and let people learn to help themselves.
========================
POSTANGER:
American can take care of everyone else’s problems once we take care of our own. When we don’t have starving children within our own borders, when we don’t have homeless, when we become the great country we are suppose to be… then and ONLY then will I say we can help other I need. What will happen when we are in need? Oh wait… we ARE in need of help. Trillions of Dollars in need! Somebody help!!!!!!
US Government needs to learn its role. Leave private donations to the private donors.
