re: You miss my point entirely. You seem upset that the US barber only gets $10 per hour, and perhaps only $9 per hour next year. My question is how do you feel about the non-US barber who gets only $2 an hour, this year and next? Anything for him, or no?

Like I said, "sure".

I worry first about my family, then my communities. If your sister were suffering, would you worry about the poor folks in Darfur first or more because they are suffering worse?

I've clearly said that I worry more about the US citizen that works at Walmart and can't make ends meet than I do about the day laborer in the UAE. It's my country, it's a democracy, I feel responsible. And so I support changes that will make things better for US citizens.

PS I also give to charities that help the poorest folks in other countries... but I can't change their politics.
