Just a simple question. Why the fuck is our hard earned money going to Israel?
Because certain people make large campaign contributions to politicians.
I think it's because your country has a large Jewish vote; if it's not that, fuck knows...PRiMACORD wrote:

Yeah! We need to bump up our subsidies to Big Oil instead! Those poor guys only made about $25,000 in the time it's taken me to type this far. I type really fast.
Your tax dollars go to Palestine too. And lots of other developing countries.
One of the main reasons that US tax dollars go to Israel is that neither party is willing to deal with the fallout of eliminating funding to Israel.

Israel, at least the part that gets the Apaches and high speed internet, is far from a developing country.
No it's mainly because the country has very powerful and very rich jewish lobby groups who can make or break aspiring politicians, especially given jewish media-outlet ownership. The actual population of jews in the USA is less than 2%. The lobby groups seems to have been building in influence for decades and now actually completely call the shots when it comes to US foreign policy.

Here are the top 16 recipients of U.S. foreign aid for 2005:
1. Israel 2.58 Billion
2. Egypt 1.84 Billion
3. Afghanistan 0.98 Billion
4. Pakistan 0.70 Billion
5. Colombia 0.57 Billion
6. Sudan 0.50 Billion
7. Jordan 0.48 Billion
8. Uganda 0.25 Billion
9. Kenya 0.24 Billion
10. Ethiopia 0.19 Billion
11. South Africa 0.19 Billion
12. Peru 0.19 Billion
13. Indonesia 0.18 Billion
14. Bolivia 0.18 Billion
15. Nigeria 0.18 Billion
16. Zambia 0.18 Billion
And for all of the fiscal conservatives, foreign aid had been declining until 2003 to 2005. It hit an all time low in the mid 1990's but for the 03-05 fiscal terms (the latest available) foreign assistance has been larger than any three year period since the early 1990's.
The United States is largest source of foreign aid in dollar terms, but the smallest among major governments when figured against gross national income.

Because Isreal would be wiped off the planet if they could not support their military.

Because it costs a lot to oppress people.
Most Americans are not aware how much of their tax revenue our government sends to Israel. For the fiscal year ending in September 30, 1997, the U.S. has given Israel $6.72 billion: $6.194 billion falls under Israel's foreign aid allotment and $526 million comes from agencies such as the Department of Commerce, the U.S. Information Agency and the Pentagon. The $6.72 billion figure does not include loan guarantees and annual compound interest totalling $3.122 billion the U.S. pays on money borrowed to give to Israel. It does not include the cost to U.S. taxpayers of IRS tax exemptions that donors can claim when they donate money to Israeli charities. (Donors claim approximately $1 billion in Federal tax deductions annually. This ultimately costs other U.S. tax payers $280 million to $390 million.)
i found it at a random web page

FYI Primacord, Egypt is an Arab country.
Israel has a population of 6.7m
Egypt has a population of 74m
Israel is getting 15x more per person.
Pakistan has a population nearing 160m, not even going to bother with that one...

Little or no money should go to illegal immigrants. I have to disagree with you on social welfare tax dollars - if it wasn't for those then you would live in anarchy. The way it is now there is just just enough balance to keep society going.Erkut.hv wrote:

I don't mind welfare for the truly downtrodden, not lazy broodmares who screw anything with a pulse and pump out a kid for an extra 300 a month. Or junkies who can't hold a job.CameronPoe wrote:
