People outside of the U.S. are our brothers and sisters but,
our first priority is to ourselves, family, neighbors and country in that order.

Then we can help beyond our duties to others.

The author is correct in the article. 4 I would emphasize that a reasonably regulated free market is what we should seek rather than the current capitalism.

Good answer. Do you have any objective moral criteria in addressing this question for when we become “a reasonably regulated free market” and exit the status of “the current [inadequately regulated, presumably] capitalism?” In asking, I note that “capitalism” has become dramatically more “regulated” since WWI, and the fedgov churns put thousands of new regulations a year. When will it be enough? What objective criteria can you point to?

Otherwise, it will be an endless and pointless debate whose only offered answers are “more than it is now” and “less than it is now.” Lots of platitudes, IOW, and no actual moral reasoning.
