Do you believe that Americans must unite to combat our hard earned money?

Some EDUCATIONAL Reading For Citizens\n\nhttp://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd185.htm\n\nI have friends who live in the Phoenix area that speak fluent Spanish. Over the weekend before the big marches on April 10, 2006, Spanish speaking radio was sending this message: "Hide what's in your heart today. We know in your heart your allegiance is to Mexico, but today use your head. Americans were upset about Mexican flags and our show of solidarity for reconquista. Now we must wear white shirts and wave the American flags being handed out. It will be difficult because we know in your heart your love is for Mexico, but hide it today."

This couldn't have been done 100 yrs. ago, let alone today.  No one in the states today wears clothes made in the USA.  We are so tangled with the Global Economy, we couldn't function if we withdrew.  There  would be no cars, computers, TV, trade of any kind, etc.  if we did that.  We have to be involved.  The question is about who is making the deals we get in, and who do they serve?  Today, we have been sold down the river by the powerful and they don't care what happens to you or your country.  We  should be telling them to go screw themselves.

Most definitely ! Reminds me of an old FDR quote during WW2.\n\nIt is a shame some Americans don't understand or support that quote. However, I think most Americans would agree.

The U.S. had quite a bit of money at one time. And as all big wigs with money and clout do, they feel the need to put their two cents in pretty much everywhere. The American government feels they are strong enough to handle anything. That is so untrue. They stick their noses in foreign business and try to correct it (helping to form a new government in Iraq) and all the while, totally forget about their own citizens. We still have homeless veterans, We still have hungry children, we still have an awful drug problem. But is America spending their dollars to help those folks? Of course not. It's rediculous. A man once said to some folks, "Clean up your own backyard before you come talking about mine." America should listen to that statement.

We can respond to all of their emails stating that they have found US$250 MILLION dollars that they want to send to YOUR bank acct, they will split it with you, please send your bank acct information so that I may make a deposit! \n\nI dont know about you, but Im wondering how I can protect my own a*s from the crooked government that is running my country (America.) My presidents is stepping all over my civil rights, he is performing illegal wiretapping, illegally collecting phone records from millions of Americans, and is fighting an unjust war using our sons and daughters. The price of fuel is skyrocketing, interest rates are soaring, real estate is reversing, and jobs are being lost. The military is about to go "protect" our southern borders from terrorist Mexicans.....oh, wait a sec, got blinded by the BS for a sec there... I meant to say that the Govt is lying to us about why we need to keep Mexicans out - because its to protect us from Terrorism (although 90% of the terrorist on 9/11 were Saudi Arabians....but we are too busy allowing them to buy out our weapons factories to keep them out of the country....\n\nNo offense, but Ive got enough crap to deal with at home than to be worried about Nigerians!

Foreign National Debt is above 3 trillion at record levels so I say no. Current US fiscal policy is designed to move wealth to the upper class from the middle class. The government does not seem to want to protect the majority of its people but thats what we deserve for voting in these leaders.

its not just Americans my friend its the same all over the so called modern world,,\npeople who have very shallow lives believe money is king and to have a fancy car that's bigger &better than the next persons is a measure of their success.\nthey should take a vacation in one of the poor countries and see what their capatilism is doing to the world,,\ni have said it often and i will keep saying it the banks and the capitalist in this world are the biggest threat to man kind,, more than any terrorist group\nuntil the small pea brained people with to much money realise how pityful they are ,we will not improve as a human race,,\ni dont object to people working hard to beter them selves(thats fair&deserved) i am really talking about the greedy B......ds that have millions and sometimes billions lying in a bank when we have woman & children dying that could be saved for less than the price of their vintage champagne, it makes me sick,would you believe that the poorest 22% of the worlds population donate 89% of the monies giving to charity,,\nthey will die one day my friends and i wish i could be there to see them meet their maker,, its one party they will not enjoy,,\npeace to all ...\nps you greedy people know who you are ,,have alook at yourself in the mirror..

We need solutions and I hate to hope for it but....honesty. The Iraq war is a mistake! We spend a DISQUSTING amount of $$ on a huge, useless military. We need someone who will realize and admit this to the American public so that the situation can be fixed. The incredibly stupid and regressive tax cuts need to stop also. I think that once we free up all of those monies, we can use it to solve big problems that most Americans really care about. Namely, top rate education and healthcare.

Hearts and minds.  We need to fight terrorism, but not how we fight nations.  Veitnam has taught us nothing.  We need to fight with money and good will, not bombs and bullets.  America needs to clean up and improve these peoples lives.  The make 5 dollars a month in some of these places, that is not enough to live on.  Not only that but they have tons of people telling them what to think.  We need to show them how we are.  \n\nIn Iraq, instead of blazin though the country on tanks, we needed to go through slowly, taking the ports and the southern tip of the country.  We rebuild everything before we move on.  So what they would see is Sadam become crazy and powerless.  I am 100% sure that he would have lost his peoples trust even more on his own.  If we went though bit by bit and set up clean water, hospitals, food, and an economy, who would have really wanted to face us as we came in.  There would have been tons of cheering and very few shoots fired.  Instead we made the country into a big shit sandwhich and now we have to take a bite.\n\nSo I feel that hearts and minds is the way to go.  It will take longer than wipping the countries off the map, but then we cant become that.

I believe we need more discipline. Why do we think so many people get away with whatever they can do to say... mooch off the government.. that all us working class pay into. People immigrating and getting handed money for a year or so without paying taxes and starting businesses... We wonder why the Chinese or Japanese are so much ahead of us.  We have turned ourselves lazy and let people walk over us #1 person is the president.  Why not lets just let the Arabs that want to kill us run our ports.

Get Americans to focus on anything other than removal of the ruling class screwing everyone everywhere like a grand illusionist! Your reference to Iran etc just another smoke screen to keep your eye off the ball here in the USA!

A better question would be: What can we do to stop the bleeding heart liberals from taking even more of my hard earned money!  Simple answer: Stop voting for them!  \n\nNO MORE TAXES! LOWER MY TAXES!!! Just being a minority does not entitly you to my hard earned money!\n\nThere is NO RIGHT to shelter, food, or health care.  You have to earn those, not demand them from others who are willing to work!

This is a great question and quite frankly, a grave concern.  America is truly spinning out of control.  Prices cannot continue to raise the way that they do, while wages raising at less than half the rate of real estate.  \n\nMy honest opinion....taking the national debt into consideration, that we can thank Mr. Bush for making even bigger (yes, I am a republican).  Taking into account the fact that the average household has credit card debt in excess of $10,000.00 and many other issues, I think that we are in some deep, deep trouble.  I don't think that we will ever recover from this and I truly think that the downfall of America will absolutely be due to money.

No. First off,this is america and americans need jobs so put some americans to work .Second,there is way too many foreigners taking what precious few jobs we do have.third, dont enough american companys outsource enough of our jobs outside of america? And most importently How can we trust our security to other countries? We Americans,and I do mean all us Americans, I dont care if you are black,white,brown  or green if you were born in the U.S.A then you are American I think we need to gather up and tell our leaders that enough is enough and that we are tired of selling our country to foreigners one piece at a time and that we want america to be owned by Americans once again!
