Bush Says Billions for Africa – Baloney for America!
by David Duke
I just watched CNN International.
George Bush has been on tour in Africa.
He is boasting about giving away billions of dollars of American taxpayers’ money.
The money is supposedly going to fight AIDS in Africa, but most of it will likely just end up in the hands of corrupt African despots.
Here is a typical example of the corruption as reported about Tanzania, one of the nation’s George Bush recently visited.
It has been reported that billions of dollars have been stolen, and continue to be siphoned, with impunity while the people cannot even afford basic necessities including medical service and education for their children. The Bank of Tanzania also is involved in a major scandal involving billions of dollars which have disappeared into thin air and remain unaccounted for. Its highest-ranking officials have been implicated in the scandal, yet the government has done nothing about it. (Wikipedia -Tanzania)
Bush has promised to double the 15 billion dollars already given for anti-AIDS programs. He has now committed America to double that amount and give the incredible sum of 30 billion dollars over the next five years.
As I watched CNN, poignant video of AIDS-infected Africans with tears flowing down their cheeks, flooded the TV screen.
The media has universally applauded this massive giveaway of the American people’s money. They promoted the giveaway by showing heart wrenching pictures and video accompanied by an announcer’s voice filled with empathy and emotion.
The scenes moved me as they would anyone with a human heart.
But, they didn’t convince me that it is moral to send billions of dollars of tax money overseas to people that have never paid a penny in American taxes.
Before you consider me heartless, let me tell you why I am opposed to this kind of government foreign aid.
I don’t think that the federal government has the right to forcibly take your money and send it to a foreign nation, no matter how much the government tries to justify the charity. There are millions of worthy charities in the world. What right does the government have to take the hard-earned money of Americans and give it to anyone?
No one gives you a choice about paying taxes. If you don’t report your income and pay your taxes you will likely be sent to prison.
You are given no choice in the matter.
George Bush and most of the politicians who promote this theft are millionaires. If they want to send their own funds directly to Africa, that’s their right. But I think they have absolutely no right to literally steal your money and send it to their charity of their choice.
We could apply this principle to many areas of American life, but let’s consider for a moment the horrible condition of health care for millions of Americans. Millions of hard working, taxpaying American citizens cannot afford or simply don’t qualify for or cannot get affordable medical insurance for themselves and their families. A recent article in the New York Times headlined “Study Finds Cancer Diagnosis Linked to Insurance.â€( February 18, 2008) It revealed that those who don’t have private medical insurance are at least twice as likely to receive diagnosis of the most deadly cancers when they are difficult to treat and cure. Here are some excerpts from the article: (Continues)
