Helping the poor is the whole job of the government. The rich need no help.
That's your opinon.
I think the government's job is mainly to provide a safe enviroment and good infrastructure. I do agree that a good government should provide help for the poor inside of their country, but not all over the world.
Also I think donations would go up if only people were the ones donating instead of paying taxes, which the government then uses as humanitarian aid. But yeah, that's just a guess, I can't know for sure. Maybe I'm wrong.
poorer countries
When looking at country's deficits, the us probably is one of the poorest countries.
