WHERE DOES OUR MONEY GO?
In the midst of preparing my federal income tax return, I happened to read
a news story that made me wonder where my tax dollars are going.
According to the report, while visiting Bogota, Colombia, Secretary of
State Madeleine Albright met with the South American nation's leaders to
"discuss a proposed $ 1.3-billion emergency aid package for Colombia," the
country considered the source of 80% of the world's cocaine.
I sure hope that our billion-dollar gift doesn't help Colombia become the
source for 90% of the world's cocaine.
