    Default Can you believe this bullshit?

    Our military is going to charge american citizens for getting them out of an impromtu war zone.

    What... The... Fuck.

    Sounds strangely familiar to Katrina doesn't it? You know - where you are fucking on your own?

    What the fuck is the military there for other than to make military contractor's rich off our tax dollars?

    Unfucking believeable.

    We pay survivors of 9-11 millions and millions of dollars (so they won't sue the airlines.)

    We make people who find themselves with bombs going off
    around them pay a fee to get rescued.

    More and more I think this country is fucked.

    Um, excuse me? The American government is CHARGING their citizens for evacuation from a war zone? What the hell do you guys pay taxes for? It seems like you're getting less and less for your money.

    Makes me glad I'm Canadian.

    Yes expats do pay taxes. It is offset by the 80,000 and the amount we have to pay in overseas Taxes. If I lived in a place with lower taxes than America, I would end up paying both sets of taxes, or at least the difference could go to America.


    Some people here(Australia) are complaining that survivors/rescuees that have been rescued/evacuated, and sell there story should be made to pay for the rescue operation.

    A country has a duty to protect it's citizens, regardless if they sell a story or earn foreign income.
