do you thnk that rich people should give foreign aid to other countries? why or why not? use specific evidence! its a debate :D
Actually, the US gives more foreign aide not as a country (governmental spending) but from private donations.
International giving by US foundations: $1.5 billion per year
Charitable giving by US businesses: $2.8 billion annually
American NGOs: $6.6 billion in grants, goods and volunteers.
Religious overseas ministries: $3.4 billion, including health care, literacy training, relief and development.
US colleges scholarships to foreign students: $1.3 billion
Personal remittances from the US to developing countries: $18 billion in 2000

Although Adelman admitted that there are no complete figures for international private giving she still claimed that Americans are clearly the most generous on earth in public but especially in private giving . While her assertions should be taken with caution, the numbers are high.
People like Bill Gates built their companies from scratch. He worked hard to get where he is today. He should not be forced to help anyone, certainly encouraged to, but not forced.
Generally, we shouldn't pay any money to anyone unless we get something out of it. Keep a country from being a nest of terrorism, maybe. Or maybe a more friendly country to get oil from.
But specifics? you first.
