                      No! You Cannot Come in

     Garrett Hardin writes about saving the poor in
his essay"Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against the
Poor" found in The Blair Reader.  Hardin writes about
how the rich countries are in the lifeboat and the
poor countries are swimming in the ocean. He also
writes about how the United States helps other
countries. Hardin feels that if the government keeps
helping other countries and letting people in then
America will also drown. "We must convince them if
we wish to save at least part of the world form
environmental ruin"(page 765).
Why should I help the poor countries? Why
should I let the immigrants in? I see no reason for
helping someone that is not an American. These non
Americans are taking my hard-working money that
they did not earn.
I am tired of the United States of America giving
my money to the poor countries. The government is
giving these people my money for which I worked
hard. The government does not ask for my
permission to give these people my money. By
letting these people on our lifeboat the government is
drowning us all. "If we do let an extra 10 people in
our lifeboat, we will have lost our 'safety factor,' an
engineering principle of critical importance" (page
757). I cannot take a chance in helping people if it is
going to put me in risk.
Instead of giving the money to non Americans it
should be used only in America. The money used to
help the poorer countries can be very useful in the
United States. The middle class people in America
get no help. More of that money can go toward the
middle class families. The middle class families work
had for their money. The government helps poor
families with food, housing, education and many
more things. The rich have more money than they
need, but the middle class is left struggling. The
middle class people cannot move up. The middle
class cannot get ant help from the government. It
makes me mad that the poor Americans do not take
advantages of some of the opportunities available for
them. The middle class people sometimes work two
or three jobs to pay for their own or their children's
college education. The government should use the
money they are sending to other countries to help
the taxpayers.
In my family we have just enough money to get
by. I do not see the government knocking on my
door handing me food or money. Why should they
give my money to othe...
