Bono: ‘The American Taxpayer Is Really Hurting’But Can Still Help Pay for Europe’s Refugee Crisis
Breitbart ^ | 4/14/16 | Jerome Hudson

Posted on 04/14/2016 6:13:15 AM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Tuesday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, U2 frontman and anti-poverty activist Bono called for the U.S. to send more assistance to Europe to shore up the European Union as it buckles under the Third World migrant crisis, even though Americans are struggling to bear their own tax burdens.

“I know the American taxpayer is really hurting at the moment and the same in Europe,” Bono said. “But I think between Europe and America there is a consensus building that, you know, the corruption that’s killing as many kids as disease can be dealt with by structuring these concessional loans on the conditions that these countries that we give them to reform.”

Bono’s MSNBC segment was meant to draw attention to his upcoming testimony Tuesday before a U.S. Senate subcommittee, where he is expected to discuss violent extremism and the role of foreign assistance.

I'm fed up with America pouring hundreds of billions of taxpayers' dollars into corrupt, third world, shit-hole country supporting people who want to kill us.

Seal the borders, cut off funding to everyone, tell the rest of the plant to F-off, and let us rebuild OUR infra-structure.

Sorry, but my opinion is that Islam is a military / political organization disguised as a religion. They spread their faith by the sword...convert, die, or pay a tax and be subject to Dhiminitude in order to create a world Caliphate. Time to out law Sharia Law in the US. Case closed.

How is it that people like Bono can be so talented... and yet so dumb?

Michael Savage really hit the nail on the head when he said that liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

I used to love U2’s music, but when Bono started acting like he was Jesus Christ and then began his pontificating around the world telling America and Western Europe that it should forgive all of the debt of poor African and Asian countries and fork over more money to them, they now make me gag.

I am tired of these idiots who have made hundreds of millions of dollars off of people like me who lecture me on the evils of capitalism and want me to surrender my country’s sovereignty and submit to the caliphate.

Shut the eff up, Bono. When you give away every dollar you have, you can tell me how to live.

I think they use up all their brain on their talents, vocation, etc., saving little for things pertaining to day to day matters revolving around things of life and the hereafter.

Well rounded people tend to make better “people”.

Let’s not. Let’s bring war crime charges to Obama, Biden, Clinton & Kerry. Islam’s latest iteration is their baby.

Bono:

Arab countries - with violent irrational ideas underpinning them - can produce ‘refugees’ thousands of times faster rest of the world can prop them up.

To enable Muslim cultures to continue in in their destructive ways is immoral.

“but when Bono started acting like he was Jesus Christ.”

When did he not act like this? Look up why he named the group U2.

When I had a job and a career, his attitude was only annoying. Now he’s insufferable.

When celebrities shove their naïve political views on everyone, I want to scream: Just shut up and sing (or act, depending their profession.)

You’d be stupid not to try to cut your tax bill, says Bono: U2 frontman branded ‘hypocritical’ in light of his ‘anti-austerity posturing’

Then Bono, I suggest you get your interests out of the Netherlands, where the tax rate is much lower than your native Ireland.

Once again the elitist telling us what we should be doing! Bono and his ilk will not spend any of their dirty money on this! They are the problem. To allow muslims in Europe without any kind of screening is the fault of the leaders not the citizens!

Bono went off the deep end after The Joshua Tree. The Zooropa tour turned me off completely. What a megalomaniac, narcissistic, ignorant phony.

The author is an idiot when he claims "Bono called for the U.S. to send more assistance to Europe". Bono (the other idiot here) is clearly talking about "loans" to the 3rd world sh!thole countries the migrants come from, not about giving money to Europe.
