Rand Paul slams Bernie Sanders’ assertion that the US is ‘not compassionate’
Bernie says America is not compassionate, so Rand Paul calls him out on it.
So the question begs, if Americans are sooooo uncompassionate, then why would they elect him if Sanders is the be all to being compassionate with his socialists proposals?
How about you explain what makes America compassionate?
The United States was compassionate at one time, religious charities had food banks for those that needed food, we had soup kitchens where someone could go and get a hot meal. Medicare and social security were paid into by workers to ensure that the retired people would be able to get care and money that they needed. If there was a crisis in the world the country was behind sending aid to assist.
The problem is that we were taken advantage of and anyone that just didnt feel like contributing to society soon found a way to live a decent life off of the taxpayers hard work.
Other countries began looking to the U.S to fund them any time they needed money, looked at the U.S to come in with military to save them, looked at the U.S as a place to escape to and live for free.
The U.S makes the largest by far contribution to the U.N and we get nothing from it.
How much do you think the American Citizens should take before the brakes have to be put on and the giving has to be cut back? in order to be charitable a family might have to cut back to eating out to only 3 times a month instead of four, no big deal, then they have to trade the Sunday night steaks in for hot dogs, they dont look at the big sedan that will fit their family comfortably, instead they have to opt for the more affordable mid size that crowds them. The big house is out of the question, and they find themselves in a smaller house with kids sharing a room, all so that some ungrateful lazy individual can eat and shop wal-mart.
So tell me, how far should compassion go? The very people that are screaming about the working class being greedy, are the very same people that made them that way by taking advantage of them.
