If America is such a compassionate country, how is it that the suffrage of the less fortunate is overlooked?

Question

I find that there is a depraved indiference to people who fall between the cracks of society, who's lives are left to fate...
Chaity's that give relentlessly to those that are well to do and overlook the truly needy...
Thousand dollar a plate fund raisers where the money never goes to help the homeless....

I see the prominent mock the poor and make accusations against them for their plight...
In light of natural disaster, I see the arrogance reduced to humbling empathy.

I am interested in feedback of a positive nature and would greatly appreciate everyone to consider that it could be them..
Look for my avatar, click it for "Yahoo 360".
Sincerely,
PARABOLIC STRESS

I meant to click suffering in the spell check and actually this question has nothing to do with charities to foreign countries....
But I do feel your bigotry....

Answer 1

Because it's not a compassionate country; the government keeps claiming it is so people will believe them rather than critically look at their policies and hold them accountable for them.

Answer 2

To claim that America is not compassionate is mind numbingly false, beyond all reason, and almost laughable if it were not so WRONG.

1. Your HUGE assumption is that those who are poor/hungry are so because SOMEONE ELSE is to blame, or SOMEONE ELSE was somehow negligent. How do you know this? Or are you just ASSUMING?

2. American citizens donate BILLIONS of dollars to thousands of charities EVERY YEAR.

3. America has GIVEN BILLIONS to tsunami and earthquake victims.

4. Your post reflects and animus against the U.S., not in favor of the poor. Admit it.
