Well if the system in those countries do a better job of supporting the poor then there is little reason to give

How?  Does France having a lot of Welfare make Zimbabwe any less poor?

A lot of charitable giving is at home... not all of it though.  France's number is ridiculiously low.

It's easier to ignore people suffering if you believe it's their governments failing them... and not people who have more then they need.

It's likely one reason why conservatives donate more money to charity.
