I've wondered about that, too. But then celebrities want the media attention and good press their "charity work" gives them.
I think this applies to our own Government as well. We have poured BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars into Iraq, but where is there any legislation helping our own citizens. Bush has CUT approrpriations in Medicare, Medicaid and forced this lousy Meicare Part D prescription plan on citizens, many who cannot afford the price of the medications - plus they have to pay to get this "service". By the way, it was Denny Hastert who came up with this brilliant prescription plan and all of the puppets in Congress went along with it. I don't see any Republican political leaders in government worried about our own country as much as they are in covering their butts and trying to get the same religious groups to vote for them again this year (let's not worry about our country or our citizens or even the war in Iraq - let's work on "no flag burning", "spending lotsa time on the "Pledge of Allegiance", and golly gee - I'm sure we're all just brimming with excitement about banning gay marriage. What could be more important than that?!? Helping the poor in America, duh.

It's because the republican Neocon Fascists are in power. They could care less about the little guy, or health care or reason for that matter. It's all about who has the most power and wealth to them.
This country has become so right wing conservative that if it goes any farther that way we will be calling W Heir Furer. They don't give a crap about anything humanitarian. Has W ever done anything to help the down troden, ever? He and his neo-fascists are never going to.
Even Nixon tried to bring national health care to this country. Every other major country in the world has national health care. We are the richest so why don't we? We don't because we spend more money on weapons, the military and defense than ALL the other nations of the world combined.
That's pitiful...

that is because many conservatives are of the opinion that if you aren't rich it is because you have a stupid gene or something like that. They don't give a dam. They think you are suppose to be competitive, greedy, and uncaring. And there seems to be a new stereotype rising that poor people just live for entertainment.
This is why the kindness of liberals is considered to be far better even at the risk that a few liberal think the world should provide them everything.

The poor in the USA do receive all of those things. It's called welfare, and millions of Americans benefit from it. They receive, food stamps, medical care, and public housing. As a matter of fact, the welfare system provides such a comfortable lifestyle, lots of people see no need to go get a job.

I have the PERFECT solution to this problem:
Let's(USA) recall all the loans owed to us TAXPAYERS from countries such as England,Israel,France,Korea etc., and we would have solved inflation,hunger,medical treatment for the poor.
In addition,we could pay teachers what they
deserve.
Ready to suggest this to your Congressmen?

Because celebrities think it makes them appear as more informed about global issues. They're just insincere, full of themselves human beings with inflated egos.
