The US, and other rich countries, have long been criticized for being so wealthy when other countries are so poor.
My response is bushwa. Since at least the 1970s, American tax money, and the tax money from other wealthy counties - has been poured into these poorer countries.
With what result? What do we have to show for all that money? Nothing! Just more criticism that we're too rich and too greedy!
The main example right now is Haiti. We've sent millions of dollars to that country...not only the government using our tax dollars, but us people contributing to charities as well.
With what result? Sean Penn telling us that Haiti still needs money? Sean Penn demanding that we send more money? Hey, Sean, you are worth millions - how much have you contributed?
And what has happened to the money already sent? Why hasn't housing already been built for the people still living in tent cities? What's going on over there?
