Terminate All Foreign Aid to Israel, Immediately and Permanently - (A history lesson - and then bleat 'Baaah'! - CL)

1. The Constitution doesn’t authorize foreign aid.

2. There was no income tax. For more than 100 years, Americans were free to keep everything they earned, and there was nothing the federal government could do about.

3. There were no welfare programs by which Americans were forced to share a portion of their earnings with others, either domestically or to foreign regimes in the form of foreign aid.

Make no mistake about it: Foreign aid is nothing more than a standard welfare program, albeit one for foreign governmental officials, some of whom line their personal pockets with it.
