      here's my view on the issue. If a country somehow manages to have no poor people left to take care of, it should help out the poor from other countries (provided the other countries are okay with this.) But... does a country ever "solve" poverty? Probably not.

      one angle explored was the idea of retributive justice against successful countries - i.e. for winning wars. I'm not really sure I understand what is meant here - war is generally not profitable.

      one of the interesting things done to ignore the poor in your own people is to look at, say, average wages, and by that comparison declare a country "rich" and therefore that it has to redistribute its wealth. They did this to us in Intervarsity; comparison of wages.

          not discussed: 1. that a dollar a day buys a lot more necessities when an orange is a cent; 2. the massive distortion to local economies created by the export of either money or goods, often highly destructive, rarely beneficial except during disasters.

          in theory I understand the idea, at least from the standpoint of "your own" resources. In no case do modern states have "their own resources"; public resources belong to the whole realm, allegedly, and leaders should not simply dispense them like candy.

          it's like this idea where someone said the other day that aliens were going to grant us five trillion dollars a year to do research on something. That's ridiculous; they're not giving us ANYTHING; 5tril/year is a lot of resource distortion.

          redistribution schemes make me suspicious, even more so under the guise of religion.

          "you are required to pay for other people's irresponsibility because you were not irresponsible" is not "true religion", Oh, that some had not gotten a taste of sovereignty.
