I'm defending strangers in need at the gates, children no less. What you are defending is the indefensible, and the Un-American.
Who is responsible for those children being at our gates?
I don't give a damn, and nether does Jesus according to the book. He did not ask why they were naked, he command that you clothe them.
Yes, we can feed them clothe them give them some medicine. then take them back to their country. Their country also has a responsibility for them and to them. Not to make it our responsibility. They need to stay home, grow up and become the men and women to fix the place they are in.
Because we live in a country with ELECTED LEADERS, those leaders have a responsibility to its citizens that elected them. but maybe your right, if we're all citizens of the world
then our government is responsible for the welfare of all the poor children of the world,
including India and Pakistan. It will probably break us , but we can raise the taxes really high on all the corporations so that we can still take care of all the poor US born poor inner city kids and send them to college.
And if the Corporations try to raise their prices to the consumers, or fire employees, or move their business we can just impose government controls on them so they cant do any of that.
What it comes down to is Americans have made enough money and weve had it good for to long. We didnt make that business and its really time to share with the rest of the world. We dont need houses with front and back yards, matter of fact property rights are
just a notion from th epast in todays world. especially when there are hungry kids anywhere in the world. We should sell all we have and give it to the poor.
As long as the politicians have a home in Argentina and France, we will be able to deal with any situation here. there will be no more America, but then again... What difference does it make?
