Remember when the leader of the world food bank said we could end world hunger with 6 billion, and Elon musk proved him wrong? It was hilarious to me. The reason why I laughed at that go look at what the USA alone spends on SNAP $113 billion every damn year.
In 2021, the United States budgeted $38 billion for foreign aid spending. As of this reporting, it has disbursed over $32 billion. Almost 25% of that budget has gone to just ten countries: Ethiopia ($1.13 billion)

Our Charities alone for 2016 were 27 billion dollars that's from the regular people the middle class the lower class and the slightly upper class.

But no we can't force people to be charitable. This comes from your heart, from your belief that there is a reason we should help our fellow man. Some do, many don't. But we cannot force them because that's not the right way about it.
