What a travesty! So... do we just pay taxes to help fatten the wallet of politicians as they weep about foreign aid to other poor countries to help them out of their misery? BTW, our money 'sent there' never seems to show any improvement. Tell me, did THEY prove their need and what they possibly would do for this country? Didn't think so. You demand this old fella prove his service to this country! One quote that angered me before yet sounds pretty good today....FIX THIS MESS!
