And neither are (good) roads, electricity, shelter, food, clean water, or good health. If someone could put a number on how much each of us would have to pay to share the burden equally (as portion of family income) enable the world's poor, and I could afford it, I'd pay that tax/suggested donation, if a number of people I knew and trusted were entrusting that same amount of money/percentage of their income to that organization. Until then, I give to my church (just because) and periodically to relief organizations that I think I can trust, and that I think have low overhead. The amount of need is overwhelming though. So many organizations, and so many people need help.
