Obama’s Great Giveaway

" No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well. " Margaret Thatcher

After emailing a friend about the proposed bill to give away an additional 65 billion ($65,000,000,000) dollars a year to reduce world poverty by half by the year 2015 I received a response stating that it sounded Christian. I have a problem with that mainly because I do not think that it is a correct interpretation and here is why.

When you are taxed are you providing those monies with a happy heart? I know that I do not. I know that federal taxes are necessary, but sending them overseas for any purpose, even a purpose as noble as reducing poverty or providing fresh water, is wrong.

Also, from history, you will find that when monies are sent from government to government the monies seem to disappear at the worst or not get to where it is supposed to go in a timely manner. Not all governments are as honest as our government is, meaning that monies are siphoned off for personal use. Monies sent to governments, especially or even, get delayed in getting to the people who need them either because of the established bureaucracy or by neglect.


There is also the problem that the 0.7% figure put forth by Presidential Barack Obama is the same percentage that the United Nations would like to tax every developed nation in order to put forth their agenda. An organization that does not have the best interests of America in mind in anything that they do.
