But I don't mean we shouldn't help them at all. Just, they've received far more than enough for the country to rebuild itself, then some. But what will this country do with all this money? Probably waste it, go back into poverty. And I think a large amount of the money donated towards them, from us, should have been donated to people here in our own country. I'm all for helping other countries that can't help themselves, but only after we fix the plethora of problems we have here in our own country.
I, in no way, meant that poor people don't deserve help, as my father is homeless (and a drug-addict, just, throwin' that in there) and my mom's struggled to support me and my two other brothers for most of our lives. So I understand why we help them and what not, and I'd give some of my own money, if I had any. But like I said, I just prefer we fix our own problems first.
Why not help the American's in our own country that need money too first? Why is it that it takes a major natural disaster to get people to donate and be charitable? ********, we didn't even help our fellow countrymen when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans as much as we've helped Haiti. But I'm sure you forgot all about New Orleans already, didn't you?
I nabbed your mail from Saturday, it's on our dining table if you ask and I'm not home ^^
