@Baldimo,
Baldimo: (goes to inane tangent) Since when does any country HAVE to give anything away?
//////////
Do you think that it reflects well upon the USA to lie its ass off to make it appear a generous nation when it actually is a terribly stingy nation, B?
B: What they can afford? Does that mean the US HAS to give more money? That is very socialist of you.
////
There's no need to parade your ignorance, B. It doesn't help your position in the least. It has zero to do with socialism. Except that the countries that are more socialist economically and politically are much more generous than the USA.
The USA is by far the wealthiest country in the world.
Again, a very good argument can be made that this has come from a century plus of piracy. That just doesn't make all the centuries long propaganda describing the USA as a good, kind benevolent country look to hold much of a measure of truth.
B: Good thing a majority of those in the US don't feel the way you do.
But the majority does, because they are operating under the same silly notion, another big usa lie, that you were - the USA is a generous nation.
