From the Journal News, United States gives out $13.3 billion tax dollars in direct foreign aid annually. The United States is above and beyond the single most generous benefactor of the United Nations, donating $2.4 billion dollars of your money, to primarily third world dictators. This amount is 25 percent of the United Nations' budget. In addition, the United States also gives another $1.4 billion tax dollars to United Nations programs and agencies. The American taxpayers fund more for the United Nations than all other 177 member nations combined. What most Americans do not realize is that the vast majority of the recipients of the U.S. foreign aid routinely vote against the wishes of the United States in the United Nations at an average rate of 74 percent. In other
words, of the $13.3 billion tax dollars invested in direct foreign aid, only about 26 percent, or $3.5 billion, went to support people who endorsed American initiatives or causes. A staggering $9.8 billion tax dollars went to causes and people who were and are in open and direct opposition to the United States' interests and objectives. Listed below are the actual voting records of various
Arabic/Islamic states which are recorded in both the U.S. State Department and United Nations' records:
Kuwait votes against the United States 67 percent of the time,
Qatar 67 percent of the time,
Morocco 70 percent,
United Arab Emirates 70 percent,
Jordan 71 percent,
Tunisia 71 percent,
Saudi Arabia 73 percent,
Yemen 74 percent,
Algeria 74 percent,
Oman 74 percent,
Sudan 75 percent,
Pakistan 75 percent,
Libya 76 percent,
Egypt 79 percent,
Lebanon 80 percent,
India 81 percent
and Syria votes against the United States 84 percent of the time.
U.S. foreign aid to those that hate us: ·
Egypt, for example, after voting 79 percent of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in U.S. foreign aid.
Jordan votes 71 percent against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in U.S. foreign aid.
Pakistan votes 75 percent against the United States and receives $6,721,000 annually in U.S. foreign aid.
India votes 81 percent against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually in U.S. foreign aid.
Perhaps it is time to get out of the U.N. and give the tax savings back to American workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay their taxes.
