I guess it's just a culture clash.
I don't understand your attitudes.

yea, that's basically it.

To illustrate it in a very basic way, let's say we have a country of 4 people. You and I are doing well, and there are two others that are not doing so well.

Let's say for the sake of argument, we both have the same view on what the basic standard of living a human should have is, and they are below it. Let's also say we both have the resources to provide for them.

In my world view, I would proved both of them the resources they need, and hope you would do the same. I might even ask you for a donation, to offset my costs. If you said no, then I would just provide it all.

In your world view, you would provide for one of them, and then force me to provide for the other.

The forcing of a person to provide for another is where I have a problem.
