What are you talking about?
Exactly what did we have to gain by going to Somalia trying to feed the starving while being shot at?
What did we have to gain by throwing the Serbs out of Kosovo to protect Muslims of all things?
We send more money, food and medicine aid all over the world than any other country period.
We sent men and material to the Tsunami struck areas sooner and in far greater quantity than anyone else. Not much of a thank you.
The "poor" in this country are wealthier than they have ever been before. They have a higher standard of living than the Europeans. In fact the "poor" in the US are better off than most of the "middle class" in Europe. Fact.
"To him that much is given, much is expected of."
And our sons and daughters are dying overseas right now trying to stop murdering Islamist fascist and other assorted dictators. Very few have risen to the challenge when called - and we have.
So say thank you and get out of the way.

The average wage earner in the US is richer that 94% of the people in the world. He is in the top 4% of the richest people in the world. The average African only makes ~ $250 a year.
