TAXES: Earmark for veterans

I would like the taxes I pay to go to the men and women who have served this country and returned wounded, mentally or physically.

I don’t understand why we are not taking care of these men and women who have served our country so bravely. We should be building homes for them and providing better medical care.

Instead, legislators think it is better to give billions of dollars to foreign countries, many of which are enemies of America. It just doesn’t make sense to neglect our military in favor of foreign countries. I am ashamed of the Senate and House members who ignore our brave military. It is disgusting.
