Charitable Gifts

I heard from the news the other day that the top 10% of the population who is wealthy are spending half of the money being spent on the economy, keeping the US economy in a positive position.

What that tells me is that NINETY PERCENT (90%) of Americans are only spending what they absolute have to spend to pay their bills and nothing more.

America's wealthy are carrying the water for the rest of us...  and if technology continues to grow like it has grown in the past, this financial divide will only get worse.

WITH THIS SAID...  there are dozens of television commercials on cable, satellite, and through WIFI connections that solicit the viewers to pay $11/month, $15/month, or $19/month, or more...  so that this person or that person can be taken care of.

Most of the people veterans, first responders, law enforcement or fire fighters who have been catastrophically injured in the line of duty.

SO...

most of those people who make these kinds of contributions, if not all of them, come from the NINETY PERCENT (90%) that don't have the funds necessary to help the US economy....

and yet...

these commercials are designed to make them feel guilty.

Is this really fair?

I am not saying that the WEALTHY should be the ones to pick up this tab...  what I am saying is that OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT through the collection of taxes (where everyone pays their fair share) should pay for this...

NOT THE STRUGGLING NINETY PERCENT.

If it doesn't come from taxes, then it should come from TARIFFS.
