It’s not our problem

It is wrong to do nothing and let victims starve to death

It is wrong to use the mechanism of government to force participation in the redistribution of wealth. It is doubly wrong to do so when the recipients of such forced largesse are in a foreign country.

A ship is sinking, there are not enough life boats. There are hundreds in the water but the life boats are at capacity.

If more climb into the boat, all are lost.

It is wrong to do nothing and let victims drown! But attempt to save more means everyone drowns. Life choices are always hard.


The United States can not support the entire world. It has been obvious for years now that misguided charities have made the conditions in Africa worse.

The solution must come from their own people.

But feel free to sell everything you own, empty your bank accounts and send it all to Africa if it makes you feel noble.

Nope. You spend all your time and money helping them out first. Show us how it’s done. Otherwise keep your hypocritical concerns out of my paycheck.

I don’t give a damn about Africa. Its in constant crisis.
