Money for Haiti but no money for health care?

[reggie the dog]

When the poor need money in the USA they are welfare queens. Here in France they are gutting our social services because there is supposedly no money. The poor in France and the USA are not worth investing money in as much as in the past yet somehow the same political parties that will not spend money on our own people are falling all over themselves to spend our money helping the poor in Haiti. For France it is especially insulting. Haiti won their independence FIGHITING AGAINST US FRENCH, now my taxes that supposedly are not enough to keep our health care, retirement, and social programs up and running well is going to go to people who won their independence from us. Am I evil? I don't get it. Why are the poor in Haiti more deserving of public aid than the poor in the USA or in France? The same govts that justify cutting spending on us spend money on others. Cant they get their feel good sense from helping the poor in our countries too? Does thinking like this make me an asshole? Am I just negating horror by reacting like this?
