Yes to sharing their wealth. No to providing of commodities. As the saying goes, its better to teach a man how to fish, than to give him fish and teach him to be dependent. The wealthier nation should use their wealth to help develop and secure the poorer nations' economic infrastructure, education, awareness, litteracy among the people, political stability, international ties, governence, social development and things like technological advancement instead. In this way, they can help the poorer countries stand on their own feet and not rely on "food" given by other countries.(there may be some advantages to the wealthier countries on this: globalisation, outsourcing, rapid increase in level of technology, decrease in level of terrorism, poverty, war, effeciency in global economic production..)

However we all know that in reality this is impossible to attain, there is the politics involved and scarcity of resources not enought to meet the unlimited demands and we shall say that it is very, very much so easier said than done.

Yes YES YESSSS

Give and it shall be given back to you-
Help the poor ad you yourself will never be poor

America gives alot and thats why we have been a blessed nation-Think about the countries who give the least or care about their own people. These countries are not doing to well-

Bill Gates cosntantly gives. He even stepped down from his main duties at Microsoft to do Charity work. Even though I hate windows, the man is blessed because he gives.I can sit here and list for hours people who have given and received successful lives.Its not hard to prove. The hardest part is to start doing it.
You cant give a million if you can't learn to give your first dollar-

Required?

Required by who? Who decides how much each country should be donating and who tracks the donations to make sure they are getting to where they are needed? Who compensates the farmers for growing the donated food?

A noble and worthy concept, but as long as there are sovereign nations in the world, they won't let anybody else tell them what they "MUST" do.

No. I don't think it should be required. However, if a country needs assistance, and they are willing to help themselves, wealthy countries should offer. Its a tricky process though. You don't want to provide too much, because then you get countries that expect it and their only intention is to gain imperium. I won't mention names. God forbid we offend anyone!

no. wealthy nations would not be wealthy if there were no incentive to maintain wealth. poor nations would suffer as a result.

No. All we're doing is allowing them to prosper very briefly and creating more of them to suffer in the future. Natural selection should be allowed to handle their problems.

Required? No. Do it from a sense of morality? Yes.

No, they shouldn't be required to, they should just want to out of basic human decency.
