Maybe so, Ted, but we're all human, and being human, we expect our friends and family to succor us when things go south. The fact that the world only see the U.S. as one giant cash giveaway machine gets me seeing red, especially when we often neglect our own very real problems in our rush to solve everyone else's. My brother makes 3 times what I make every year, but when he has called me with a family emergency, I have helped in a number of ways, INCLUDING buying things he needed but didn't think he needed. The point is that money should be no object when you are helping friends or family in need, even if those friends or family make more than you. If you want to throw Christian lessons at me, I'll ask you to remember the one about the rich person giving lots of gold and jewels to the synagogue and the destitute person giving her last talent to the same synagogue. The poor person was more esteemed in the eyes of God, because she had given what she couldn't afford to give. I guess they don't practice that kind of charity in the Muslim world. Their type of charity gets used for terrorism instead.
