I propose a constitutional amendment:
As long as the US is in debt, it cannot give foreign aid.
LET'S GOOoOoooo!!!
That money is owed by the nation and it cannot afford to incur more debt. If the country has a surplus, then it's up for discussion.
Not sure if that's the legal way to do it.
What you are saying is that without government to force us we will not take care of the poor around us. We will somehow need government to do that for us.
Anyone who becomes a government employee will not be like the rest of us greedy people. They will put their greed to the side and focus on taking care of the poor people. Those selfless people will force a tax on us because we refuse to help others.
Yet when elections come around we the selfish will freely elect the selfless to spend our money better then we would have it left to ourselves.
If the government take half our earnings in taxes and fees then without it we would be able to spend twice as much.
If businesses were not taxed the same way they could charge less for products and services and pay employees even more.
If my income doubled and I was paying less for everything I’d sure as hell donate more to worthy causes.
