Could someone explain to me why the United States spends more money killing people than taking care of its own?
The tax rebate is Bush and his cronies way of bailing out big corporations using tax payers' money, it is NOT to help poorer America.
Why is there money to help big corporations, killing people, but when it comes to Social Security, the money is running out? Why don't they bail out Social Security? My measly $300 rebate has already gone to Big Oil. Yours most likely will end up in some big corporation's pockets too and our children will have to pick up the tab.

Letter To The President,

I've come to the conclusion that only cowards start wars. As I look back over the past 5 years all I see is killing of innocent people. They are the ones who suffer. The soldiers risk their lives for a person who commands them to war, then that Commander In Chief sits hidden somewhere protected by his soldiers because He is afraid to stand on the front lines with armor and battle HIS enemies.

Bush, Saddam, and bin laden are all cowards. They risk the lives of innocent people to fight their battles. For every soldier that is killed today, 10 innocent people die because these cowards are afraid to do their own fighting.

Bush called bin laden a coward, he is just as much a coward. He stood on the deck of a ship and boasted after he hid from the so called enemy.

Let these so called leaders get in armor and do their own fighting and let the rest of the world sit and watch them kill themselves and wars will end. Until then we are doing nothing but creating a lot of hatred, enemies for each innocent person we kill their families will turn into our enemies.

For what this war has cost us, if we would have put that money into relief, world help, housing and food for our own people this nation would be one of the most loved countries in the world and their would be no war, killing and the hatred would end.

SO TELL BUSH TO ARMOR UP and challenge HIS ENEMIES to meet HIM on the front lines and let them battle it out and we can take those BILLIONS and put into relief.

As for adding aid to the Iraq budget, that is as about cowardly as it gets. To use world aid as a way to pay for his war is about as low as you can get.

BUSH you need to be tried for war crimes for you are no better than Hitler was...

Have a great day and sleep well knowing you killed a lot of people who did nothing against anyone.

Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store. She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.

She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food.

John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once.

Visualizing the family needs, she said: “Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.”

John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store.

Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family.

The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, “Do you have a grocery list?”

Louise replied, “Yes sir.” O.K” he said, “put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.”

Louise, hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse, took out a piece of paper, and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.

The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down.

The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, “I can”t believe it.”

The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more.

The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.

It was not a grocery list; it was a prayer, which said:
“Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.”

The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence.

Louise thanked him and left the store.

The other customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said;
“It was worth every penny of it. Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs.”
