To be fair though, it's not like we have to give anyone anything.

You are correct, we do not have to give anyone anything. We don't have to go out of our way to save anyone but ourselves. But we do it and we do it often. And we spend more to wage war to do it than we could without the loss of life. The problem is that we're constantly taking away in the name of giving and when we puff up our chest and declare ourselves the police of the world, the world expects us to step in when others are in trouble. The problem here is that with all of the resources at our disposal, we seem much more intent on spending more money to kill than to save.
