With that Headline… don’t take it the wrong way. I fully understand why we are helping them, they just had one hell of a Disaster… However, What I do not understand… is there are millions of people donating to help Haiti out… but no where near that many help with the problems we have right here in America!
We have many many many Homeless in this country, we have many families who need help during this economic failure of CHANGE, We have inner city youth who are going down the wrong path, etc.
ALL of which could be helped by some degree, with just 1/2 of the donations we are giving Haiti right now!
Am I the only one who fails to see the logic in helping another country, but ignoring our own? Youtube People, News Outlets, Websites, Commercials, EVERYONE is jumping on this “Help Haiti” train which I cannot fully understand. WHY can’t these same People/Organizations/Media push for the same thing here at home?
My only guess… is people can only feel good about themselves by helping another country, and ignoring our own. Again… I Understand and agree that we should lend a helping hand to Haiti… But… Why can’t we extend that same offer to the problems we have here at home.
If someone can fully explain that to me, and make sense, then I will retract this entire statement.
There is a difference between living in a country with opportunity and living in one where you’re doomed from birth.
Forget Haiti… they’ll be ok. Congress voted FOR the “health” care bill last night! Sorry bastards!
Welcome to the USSA!!
I completely agree with you. Frankly, I’m pretty tired of hearing about the whole Haiti thing. We have too many problems here in our own country. Why should we help the newly homeless in Haiti when we can’t even help the homeless here?
