As a result, our AIDS patients survive longer than anywhere else in the world, and many of them are treated with taxpayer dollars.

Is this statement in there to justify using American tax dollars to solve other people's problems because we have used those dollars to help our own? So, the whole world is entitled to US tax dollars, is that it?

No shit! I wish my tax dollars were used wisely. I'm middle class, and my total taxes would put a family of 4 above the poverty line. This is just silly. Why is the US government involved in charity? Tell me the national interest and I might not complain. Otherwise, let me decide how much and where I want my charity to go.
