Why are we taking care of everyone but we Americans?

Question

What about all our homeless people and our mental on the streets so many little dirty secrets and yet we are helping other countries, I thought charity starts at Home.

Answer 1

Those who have must help those who have not.

Answer 2

And what about kids that grow up in the projects? I would like to see them get a "helping hand" instead of these criminal illegal aliens. Some American kids are born into poverty. It would be nice if our government helped them get a better education instead of paying tax dollars to educate the illegals in Spanish.

Answer 3

Because we live in the land of opportunity, noone is held down here, we all have a chance to make it and if you choose to sit on your butt and not succeed then that is your own fault.

Answer 4

Big Brother has the honour of taking care of the younger one.

That is why we must have the peace on earth goodwill to men.

Then they can care for the folks back home.

With loss of peace on earth goodwill to men and with two hands.

What can Big Brother do.

But to make that sacrifice for the honour in caring for the younger one.

Not in clubbing the younger one.

Just communication problems.

Answer 5

The extreme Leftists in America can not move the U.S.A. toward their desired one world government unless they first destroy the America we currently have.

This issue is one more incremental step in that direction.

Answer 6

It seems because our political partys have become unfaithful to the American people. I'm sure they don't treat their families like they do their constituents. Some people want to blame it on the victims themselves, but they are the very people who are largely to blame. And they should be ashamed...

Answer 7

Because we are very generous, and we see ourselves as the most fortunate people on earth.  With our good fortune comes a responsibility to share, so we do.

Answer 8

what sway_27 is saying is - if there isn't any money in it, it's not important

many Americans (like myself) don't agree with that line of thinking, but it has made several American companies very, very rich and influential in governmental decision making

Answer 9

Americans take care of themselves.  That is, everyone except welfare frauds.

Answer 10

because we hope that through helping others they will eventually be able to have the oppertunities that we have, nothing is perfect but we have alot of oppertunities that others dont. And we do help ourselves with social security, wellfare, medicare and medicade, free clinics ect.. we are helping people else where who dont even have programs like this to develope goverments to that can provide similar means of help.

Answer 11

Because the Republicans controlled Congress for several years and there's still a Republican administration in the White House.  DUH!!!!!!!!!!
