Why on earth should we help other people, no matter where they live? Because we can imagine what it could be like to be someone else, and there but for chance, or luck, or the grace of God (if you believe in one) go you. I think what the post you responded to might have been addressing, in a unstated way, is that resources are limited. And they are. IMO, because we have a social contract- we have a duty to our citizens here to help them escape poverty and ignorance. If we fail to reach out our hand to our fellow citizens, we are abrogating our contract and making our country a more ugly and inhospitable place. I think we need to do what we can for other countries- but because I definitely live by contract theory, my priority would be to save our own citizens first.
