Thanks Don Cardi, for being so kind. I only know you by the internet, but I have experienced you always have respect for people.

So ... what I said may have looked somehow radical, which was not what I meant to be.

I do want poverty solved (but I guess that's not only me ), in the USA, in Europe, in Africa, everywhere. That would be a Utopia of course, since I think poverty can't be solved completely but we must try.

What I blame western countries for, is that they're not doing enough to help poor countries. I'm not saying all money must go to solve poverty in other countries, and leave the poor in your own country starve.

What I am saying is that the percentages 1 - money for the 'own' poor; and 2 - money for other countries, are now out of balance.
And in western countries, poor people are in the minority . The country can still function, there is economy...
In many African countries, the majority is very poor. There is no economic life, no work, nothing, and diseases, ... Such countries are not standing where they are, they're going instead backwards.

But since the USA have to deal with increasing poverty theirselves, they must certainly continue to help the own people too. And Katrina isn't helping the problem.

So I don't want less money for the own, American people, more money for others. No, I want: more money for people in the own country, more money for other people.

Where does Bush has to get that money? For me: The money he had put in the war in Iraq. But that's another discussion... :p
