Subliminal messaging here. Like we don't have enough of our own problems.

We have a hard enough time helping our own problems such as the homeless, crime, drugs, illegal immigrants etc.

Personally, I think we spend way too much money on keeping our politicians comfortable. The President deserves a fancy car and whatnot, but why does every senator have a staff car that most of his/her constituents could never afford, more aids than you could shake a stick at, etc. Quit wasting money on creature comforts and put that towards education and humanitarian efforts.

The message I get is that the creator of this short video thinks that everyone should be on the same level and we should feel guilty to help out poorer nations. The fact of the matter is we did not cause them to be poor and have nothing. We didn't start off as a rich nation, through hard work and perseverance we became what we are. We didn't have help from another nation to get us where we are. It seems whenever we do try to help other nations, we get blaimed for "butting into others' business."
