I agree we should look after our own first . The main idea of helping other countries is so they dont block our trade which is usually lop sided . When I was there in 1980, Nepal had the highest ratio of foreign aid per capita of any country in the world . Probably due to all those rich clowns climbing a mountain .
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
John Donne
