Yes is does, the nation you live in matters. If you don't care about it at all then your a poor example of its citizenry. I am American and I care about the general welfare of other Americans. I also disagree with our current policies and I do what I can not to give me consent to it. But I am still American and care about its people. I also care about other nations and hope they feel the same way about their nation as well. Under those terms I hope we can continually finds ways to peacefully works together and trade.
I guess we just have different values. I care about the human race no matter where they come from, not just some group of people living in some imaginary boundaries. Of course I care about the general welfare of my neighbor, someone I know, more than someone in Asia that I do not know. I can't really say that I care about the general welfare of someone I don't know living in California more so than someone I don't know living in the EU. They are both human.
From an economic perspective the poorest people in America are richer than the middle class/richest people in many other countries. So, if you think time/money will help educate/clothe/feed people in poorer countries, then every $1/minute you spend helping the poor in other countries will give those people a lot more value than it would if you spent the money/time on poor people in the USA. So in effect you are helping the human race more.
Brilliantly true. Also congrats on the new biz.
