    Yes, there are severely less fortunate people in the world. Absolutely. Does that make any of my (Rooney's) points less valid? I would also argue that a good portion of the philanthropy that exists globally comes from well-off Americans who CHOOSE to do so. Government does not force them. They do it because they want to and are able to. It is a great trait of being HUMAN. The U.S. has also come to the aid of the aforementioned impoverished numerous times.
