I keep seeing so many people saying that the government shouldn't help the people of West, Texas because we the country is broke, and because Texas voted against help for the Hurricane Sandy victims... First of all, our reps voted against it. That doesn't mean we were ALL against it. Second, how fucking PETTY!
Yeah, the country is broke. So why the hell are we worrying about disasters in other countries when we cant even take care of our own??? We cant afford to help the victims of hurricane sandy, or the victims of the West explosion, but we can afford drones and to send our troops to places that don't want our help???
BULL!
We don't even really need government money to help those people. Search your closets for blankets and clothes you forgot you even had. Buy a case of water and some non-perishable food and send it to them. Get a few able bodies friends together and come help them rebuild their homes, instead of going to Hawaii for a vacation. If everyone in the country did things like that there would be plenty of help for every natural disaster. That's a hell of a lot better than sitting on our asses waiting for the government to do something! It is our job as fellow Americans to help each other in times of need.
And i don't just say this for Texas. This is what people should do EVERY time something tragic happens.
