| Message | Mr. Speaker, No our government should help its poor. Do you believe that our current nation is ideal? That it does not need any reforms? That we have no poor? That we have no unemployed? That we have no uneducated? Do you think we do not have devastation in our own country? (i.e. fires, floods, collapses or buildings etc.) Do you honestly believe that it is more important to fund the corrupt governments of these nations when we have so many of our own problems?! We have a 7,4 unemployment rate which in our opinion is much to large already. Our main government spending should be concentrated on us, and our people. We mentioned before, it is not our responsibilities to fund other countries' treasuries. Nor to rebuild them. It should be our duty to help them, but not spend fortunes. |
