its not our job to correct the distant past, nor fix mistakes when we ourselves have no money to do such things
Get real, Phat. We have plenty of money to do these things. It's time to stop pretending that the millionaire in the mansion on the hill is poor because he didn't get his tax break this year.
and when we ourselves were not directly responsible
We prospered from it. We still prosper from it. We are still responsible for it.
This is the 21st century
Which is why I would think we could act more civilized than 'let them rot; they ain't our mess to clean up'.
there is work needing done here...in the States.
Sure... But who says we cannot also do work
there? Or, are you against job creation?
