Thread: Put America First?Or Support the UN Millenium Goals

Source: Anonymous posting at web site, August 2003.

The United States gives $13.3 billion tax dollars in direct Foreign Aid annually. The United States is above and beyond the single most generous benefactor of the United Nations, donating $2.4 billion dollars of OUR money, to primarily third-world dictators.

This amount is 25% of the United Nations budget. In addition, the United States also gives another $1.4 billion tax dollars to United Nations' programs and agencies. The American taxpayers fund more for the United Nations than ALL of the other 177 member nations COMBINED.

What most Americans do not realize is that the vast majority of the recipients of US Foreign Aid routinely vote against the wishes of the United States in the UN at an average rate of 74%. In other words, of the $13.3 billion tax dollars invested in direct Foreign Aid only about 26% or $3.5 billion went to support people who endorsed American initiatives or causes. A staggering $9.8 billion tax dollars went to causes and people who were and are in open and direct opposition to the United States' interests and objectives.

Listed below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations' records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.

US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:

Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes.

If you agree, send these facts to all your representatives and friends.

I guess this in reparation for our guilty history of colonialism and slavery?

Why not go after the Moslem World? They enslaved Africans for 14 centuries, starting in 652 AD and still continue today. And with all the dough they have been raking in due to high oil prices it seems that they could afford it.

The European colonists distributed agricultural diversity across the globe, modernized the infrastructure of undeveloped areas, brought representative government, stopped intertribal warfare, etc. The Moslems took young girls for harems and young boys for eunuchs---it seems like they should be getting dunned for the problems of contemporary Africa and Asia, too.

There is no explanation that would make sense to me about foreign aid to anyone that hates us so much they are setting records in voting against our stance in UN issues. May I recommend we nationalize that building and let Trump do something with it? I would prefer subsidizing Trump with my taxdollars rather than supporting the UN and countries across the world. Trump would definitely be cheaper.

Spreading the wealth around? Hmm.
