THIS MAY POSSIBLY "TICK" YOU OFF!!!

The 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% 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 of the other 177 member nations COMBINED.

What most Americans do not realize is that the vast majority of the
recipients of the of US Foreign Aid routinely
vote against the wishes of the United States in the United Nations at an
average rate of 74%. In other words, of the $13.3 billion tax dollars
invested in direct Foreign Aid only about 26% 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
US State Department and United Nations' records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.
Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.
United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.
Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.
Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.
Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.
Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.
Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.
Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.
Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time
India votes against the United States 81% of the time.
Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.
Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.

US Foreign Aid to those that hate us:

Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United
States,
still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000
annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000
annually in US Foreign Aid.

India votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually
in US Foreign Aid.

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax
savings back to the
American workers who are having! to skimp and sacrifice to pay
the taxes.


Pass it along.
