I've paid about as much in property taxes over the last 20 years as I paid to buy my house.

Unless it's the US sending $38B to Israel to pay for soldiers roaming the West Bank.

not a fan of that actually, particularly as the money comes with so many strings attached to it that it ties Israel's hands and allows the US to put pressure on Israel to cancel projects like the Lavi, which could have competed with the F-16 for exports. That's just one example, but yes Israel would be better off without the aid it receives (which it only receives due to stipulations that both Israel and Egypt were to receive such payments for the 1978 treaty)

I believe in voluntaryism. If there is a government service that is sought after enough, then someone would bring that service to the market with competition.

Not sure you meant it this way, but your use of "particularly" here makes it sounds like your only real problem is that the aid to Israel has other obligations attached to it, not that the stolen funds of US citizens is being given to a foreign regime.

I'm against foreign aid in general as it is used to pull the strings of other countries, largely where we have no business. yet we hypocritically cry about Russia trying to influence our elections. How many have we influenced?

Would you have a problem with the US cutting off all monetary aid to Israel, Ogie? Kinda find it hard to believe that you wouldn't raise hell about that.

I would be fine if we cut off ALL monetary aid overseas. Also I would probably cut any funding to the UN as well.

And yes, the hypocrisy here and other places about the Russians try to influence our elections, is particularly egregious.

It is pretty funny to watch, especially when people like Evan McMullin bitch about it. That asshole worked for the CIA, I'd love to hear him open up on the things he saw them doing.

You do realize that without Foreign aid there wouldn't be an Israel don't you?

False, the US didn't start selling arms to Israel until the Kennedy administration in 1962, in fact Truman embargoed both sides during the War of Independence. Any other false facts to peddle? Up until that time, all Israeli arms were purchased from France, which is why they operated the Mirage.

Even the 1962 decision was more in response to Nasser's Egypt becoming a Soviet client state than anything else.

I started the thread jerk. My point was relevant to the statement that he made by the way. If you want to be a damn prognosticator go join the weather channel. And yeah I made it personal because it is personal. It always is with you and I'm never going to delude myself into thinking otherwise. If you didn't like the point that I made do something for me clown. Ignore it.
