I'm so sick of seeing these ad's I could puke on myself. Is it just me or is it not the goverments job to take care of the poor and hurricane victims? I mean seriously wtf? Same thing with tolls on roads. Why the FUCK do I pay a toll everyday? What are you assholes doing with the tax money? sorry, late night rant...
Well ly2, you are witnessing the beginning of privatizing our roads and highways by big corporations and foreign governments, and forcing you to pay. This is evidence that the US is headed towards a fascist society. No one should have to pay a toll to drive. As far as the Katrina victims, the government shouldn't have to help them now. They've had months to get jobs and save money. If they haven't done so, it isn't the governments fault. And where is our tax money going you ask? Oh, its just going into the hands of the super wealthy and big corporations and government interests.
bush-clinton katrina fund (and the tsunami fund) are the biggest piles of poo ever. Money is given direct to governors of the states (or the people at the head of state for tsunami) with no accountability of how its even used. Donating to it means it could be spend on the governor's new window treatments or gold plated toilet or something instead of actually going someplace productive. United way is similar. If you read their site, their #1 priority is rebuilding united way offices
