not besides the point at all.....lets not be hypocritical.....why are we helping the rich to get richer and meanwhile they still don't want to pay anything......General Electric and Mobil/Exxon paid no taxes last year.....
Those are two separate issues. 1. We are wasting (unwise use of it) money in another country. 2. We are making it, trough our tax code, possible for large corporations not to pay taxes (this is a deep complex issue involving many pov's).
We shouldn't be doing either. And we are talking about number 1 not number 2. They are not related in any way except that they are things we shouldNT be doing. Which is a long list.
So back to the issue we
are talking about. We should be far more shrewd about who and what we give money to outside our country. It just practical, prudent and smart. The less we waste the more we can help our own. The more we help our own the better we can help others in the long run.
