we all gotta give a little

 

this morning we were watching the news. American station. Some were complaining that their tax dollars went to relief...but in the same breath they were asking where to donate.

 

They said that Americans were the most giving nation...they just hate it to be forced on them with taxes.

 

Kind of a free will thing...I'll give you the shirt off my back, but the government better not say I have to

 

I just find it interesting is all

 

And Yes..haiti will get a few of my dollars

I work, hence I pay taxes, alot in fact. My country (Canada), sends relief to many if not all countries stricken by natural disasters, and this is a good thing, and is one of the many reasons evryone loves Canada and it's citizens...and this makes me proud to be CANADIAN!

i'd rather it be tax dollars spent on relief... there's a lot of money being made off of hispaniola in this world... taxing those reaping those benefits and redirecting it back makes sense to me.

 

i'll probably donate at least something to the relief effort. it does put it in perspective just how incredibly lucky we are to be canadian, doesn't it? it's something i try to remember every day.
