Why Should I Care?

This is going to sound either sarcastic or egotistical or perhaps both...  but, why should I care about all the starving people in the world today since they are not in my country?  OR...  why should I care about all the poverty in the world today, since I have all the money that I need to take care of my wife and me?

I mean for Christ's sake, I live in the world's greatest country and those who are hungry or live in poverty DON'T LIVE HERE...

AND...  if they did live here, I probably would not want to do anything to help them out, because it is not my place to help out the rest of the world...  even if I am a Christian...  besides, I cannot possibly help everyone....

What you are asking is like...  what if we asked all the wealthy people in America, the millionaires and billionaires to help out all those people in America who were not wealthy and living on minimum wage and on the verge of poverty...

What do you think all those wealthy Americans might say???

GO SCREW YOURSELF...

We are who we are because of who we are and we don't think it is our place to take care of the rest of the world...  however, we don't mind sending our military overseas to have strangers and foreigners fight their wars...  but, that is a different story because wars actually help strengthen our economy....

Helping poverty and hunger does not really help our economy...  it drains our economy...

Statistically, poverty and hunger will always be around...  it's just part of life...
