^ right you are..
Also, it would help if instead of handing out $200 to make us feel good about ourselves, we actually worked and paid our taxes in the country. Most programs are funded by taxes, not charity. We’re all equally culpable here. It can’t be helping that we get an education in the country - partially funded by taxes. and then choose to contribute to another exchequer.
We looked at our own self-interest in choosing a better life abroad, yet we’re ready to criticize those who stayed behind for not doing enough.

And for those who will say taxes just go to line politicians pockets, I would say the middle-class needs to take some of the blame for not bothering to vote.

One of the wisest posts I have read in this forum. Very true (and it is not easy to admit since I fall ino the category that you so correctly criticized).
