New Hampshire in Numbers

Hey maha,

First, thank you for sharing your point of view with us. I would like to take the opportunity to share with you my point of view on the specific issues that you too are concerned about.

“.I don’t think USA supports Israel enemies .It does and have always been the biggest supporter to Israel.”

The truth is, while politically we don’t support Israel’s enemies, we do provide them with foreign aid. If there were a natural disaster in any of these countries, the U.S.A offers help whether they are considered an enemy or not. However, our country sends money to these countries and combined the amounts exceed what we send to Israel by no less than six times.

“I wish one day you visit Palestine and see how many homes being destroyed by Israel solders and how many kids and youngsters being killed brutally in front of their moms when all what they did was defending their families.”

If you don’t mind me asking, do you live in Palestine or do you visit often yourself? I only ask because in that case I would love to hear more about your experiences. Many of the people who speak of events such as you described typically describe what they have seen on media outlets like Al Jazeera, while not actually witnessing them personally. These media outlets, much like the ones in the U.S, spin stories out of context to push their own agenda’s.

Another point I would like to add is, the horrifying event you described is not specific to just Palestine. Those events unfold just as often in the United States as they do there. Our soldiers are not even safe at home, some have been murdered in cold blood by SWAT teams in their own homes.

On Palestine’s right to statehood, I don’t believe any other country has any say in whether or not another country can be considered a country. If Palestine wants its sovereignty, it does not have to ask for it, and should not have to ask for it. Sovereignty is not something that can be given or taken away. With that in mind, Israel has the same rights.

The disputed territories of Israel, in my opinion, are rightfully Israel’s. Any acts of aggression has consequences, and those responsible must accept those consequences. Israel claimed that territory during the six day war. While there is debate over who attacked who first, I find it highly suspect that there was even an army to attack just over Israels borders.

“Republican politicians never care a bout the middle class like me. All they care about is to keep their wealth growing.”

I’m afraid you have been lied to. You almost had it correct but you began the statement with a specific political party. The truth is, neither Democrat or Republican politicians care about lower, middle, or upper class. They care about getting re-elected. Obviously, there are some politicians who do in fact care about their constituents, but I can assure you they are not all in one specific party.

“I totally agree with you on voluntary donations. But what makes United states the most Unique nation is its support of poor people. I have the right when I retire to have SS. Medical care I paid for it for years. Republican want to take all this away.”

Actually, what made the Unites States unique was that it was the only country in the world that gave it’s power to the people, and not to the government. The constitution was written to tell the government what it’s rights were. The constitution was not written to tell the people what their rights were. Government does not given people their rights.

Your rights are given to you by yourself. Anything you want to do that you would not need to ask for permission to do, is a right. For example: You have a right to share your lawnmower with a neighbor, but you do not have a right to share your neighbors lawnmower with another neighbor. You have a right to ask your neighbor permission to borrow his lawnmower (and he has a right to say no), but you do not have permission to take his lawnmower without asking, or to ask and get permission, and then let someone else borrow his lawnmower without telling him.

You have a right to social security because you paid for it, but you don’t necessarily have a right for all of what is promised to you. You have a right to what you have contributed.

However, shouldn’t you have a right to opt out of social security if you believe you can manage your retirement funds better than the government? Worse, what if the government is mismanaging social security funds and there is a high risk that you will not even get any of the benefits you are supposed to be entitled to? Why should you have to continue to pay into social security if it may not even exist when you retire?

If you were using a private retirement company, and you noticed the management driving million dollar cars, if you suspected they were also using drugs, and being completely reckless with the companies funds, would you continue to pay your premiums or would you choose another company to manage your retirement funds? Social security was supposed to be in it’s own separate account, but politicians have been using social security funds no differently than any other funds in government, your social security funds are not set aside, some have been used to fight wars, some have been used for financial bailouts.

In all likelihood, you will not collect any social security, but they will force you to contribute until the day it goes belly up.

“Republican want to take all this away. they are the 1% and they are good at manipulating people minds. what is wrong of fair taxes?”

The same goes for democrats. Are you forgetting that Nancy Pelosi is also the 1%? Obama is the 1%, Maxine Waters is the 1%. Hillary Clinton is the 1%. List goes on and on.

Who says today’s tax code is fair? 49% of U.S citizens pay absolutely zero taxes. The top 10% of income earners in the U.S paid 71% of all taxes. The 1% paid 40% of all taxes. How much more are they supposed to pay before it’s fair? These people aren’t using more highway than anyone else, they are certainly not using more government programs than anyone else. What justifies them paying more taxes, what justifies them paying the taxes they are currently paying?

Because they worked hard, took on significant personal risk, to achieve the wealth they enjoy today, they should be forced to give it to government?

“if I am making millions a year I should pay the same % of my driver.”

Totally agree with you on that. $0.00 is more than fair for me, you, and your driver.

Truth is, I hate arguing over who should pay more or less taxes. It’s pointless, there simply shouldn’t be taxes period.

How is it ethical in any way to force someone to give their hard earned money to someone else? Taxes are always taken by force. If you don’t pay, if you can’t pay, doesn’t matter. You will eventually be looking down the barrel of a gun if you don’t pay your taxes. Money taken at gunpoint is theft, doesn’t matter if the gunman has a badge or not. Money demanded with the threat of violence is extortion. Doesn’t matter if the extortioner has a baseball bat or a badge.

“Corporations are not people.”

Corporations can be run by just one individual. Not sure what point you are raising, just pointing out that corporations are run by people. Corporations are normally formed for organizational, contractual, and tax purposes.

“Republicans also the ones who drove us to these wars by lying to our faces ,not Democrats .”

There were 81 house democrats, and 29 senate democrats who voted for using force against Iraq. I wouldn’t pin it on only republicans. Everyone in government was responsible.

“Actually during Clinton period taxes were fair and USA was at highest economical growth.”

Because interest rates were set artificially low by the federal reserve, this encouraged a lot of growth in business, especially internet businesses. We also had the birth of Microsoft, and the beginning of the information age. Clinton was only responsible for appointing Greenspan to the federal reserve and they not only manipulated the tech industry with these rates, they caused the .com bust by hiking the rates later on. Clinton’s administration also went to great lengths to shut Microsoft down. Microsoft alone is responsible for the boom to the tech industry. The ridiculous accusation of anti-trust against Microsoft was that they claimed they were basically claiming they had a monopoly on their own operating system. They were trying to stop them from bundling their web browser and other software with the operating system.

Imagine that? Big bad evil Microsoft was GIVING AWAY TOO MUCH SOFTWARE FOR FREE so other companies complained to the government, and since Microsoft was raking in money, and government definitely doesn’t like that, they came down on them like a ton of bricks.

And people went along with it, all we do is complain about big corporations getting rich by taking money from us and taking advantage of us. One company gives too much stuff away for free, and we complain about that too! Did we really want to be paying $199.95 for a web browser to surf the internet with that bad?

I hope I shed some new light on a few things. I hate seeing people buying into mainstream media propaganda, and while the internet is still free, you should do your own research while you still can. So you can form your own opinions, never let anyone else form your opinions and beliefs for you.
