ovrtaxt, with all due respect, your name is perplexing to me. you do realize that by cutting at least some of the billions and billions of dollars in foreign aid to israel, your taxes would indeed go down. a more balanced middle east policy would also decrease extremist terrorism, and we could cut the billions and billions of tax dollars that go into this facade known as the war on terrorism (which really just means a war to suppress the palestinians). your name and your support for these tax-draining programs is an oxymoron.
If you desire freedom, Israel is your best friend. Perhaps if you would stop licking the blood soaked boots of Arafat you would look around and see this.
And I don't mind our foreign aid to Israel. They are allies, and the genius and talent which exists among the Jews has paid dividends in America in terms of medicine, business, and technology. What have we gotten from the thugs of the PA? A poisoned dagger at every turn. Arafat is an embezzling thief-- that's a foreign aid item that I would like to see cut immediately.
