Giving it the the rich people... Oh, like the time Senator Ron Paul tried to do a white nationalist coup in Dominica, I guess that's also a form of foreign aid?

Or like when UK tax money is given to India as foreign aid, a nation which has its own space program and is ranked 6th top GDP? Your point is valid, but cherrypicking examples can of course work both ways.

You're talking about a strategic decision which has been reviewed by every recent single PM, including the huge review when they rolled foreign aid into the foreign office.

There are good and sensible strategic reasons, which you could learn about if you were really interested.

On the other hand, there's absolutely no good reason for a senator to attempt a white nationalist coup in the Americas, like what Ron Paul tried to do in Dominica. There's really no comparison whatsoever. I have no idea what you're trying to say but you sound kind of moronic.

Do you think the suffering experience of a British taxpayer, is somehow equivalent to what it must have felt like, to see your local government overthrown by a foreign racial supremist in an armed takeover. Is that the comparison you'd like to make?

No.

So why did you make the comparison between having your government overthrown by a foreign racist senator, versus having your taxes used for foreign aid?

A tremendous waste of money being handed over to those who don't deserve it, fairly clear point, nothing more. Government is corrupt, or otherwise retarded in their decisions to misuse public money.
