text: Most definitely. We have people who are really struggling to make it now. Our middle class is being snuffed out completely. Our kids aren't being educated. Those that are least able to take care of themselves are suffering the most, and our government is turning away from them. \n\nTo the person that said we should give more individually, I do give. I volunteer about 40 hours a month to help needy children. I donate money and services to help those who are less fortunate. If you look around you, you will see how great the need is, and these are not people who are able to change their situation. We pay taxes and those tax dollars would be much better spent helping people at home than detroying lives on the other side of the world.
