Global Poverty Act

[Zenith]

I can't help but think we should fix up our own house before diluting our President with the poor of other Nations.

I couldn't agree more however, it seems that the general consensus around the world is that the richest country should set the stage, or take first steps to bring an end to poverty levels that are out of control.

Since America is one of the leading world powers and the richest nation, should we make the first move towards this or should we wait until someone else steps up?

• Example: if you lived on a street where everyone was super poor but the house on the corner had super rich people in it, how would it make you feel if they offered to donate a small portion of their wealth to be evenly distributed to everyone on that block?
