Charity begins at home. Christians should only support charities in their own country

Many people believe that this quote is correct. They think that because they already pay an amount on their bills, which goes to ward the Gross National Product, they think that they don't need to do any more for countries over seas. Some people believe that poorer countries should remain poor, as they can't help themselves, and that they must not feed off the wealthy countries. People are sometimes believers that there is enough money from the GNP for all the poor, third world countries, and because some countries give more, the poor countries should be doing fine, but its because of their incompetence that they don't prosper. These types of people, who believe these ideas, are mostly Capitalists, (I don't say that all Capitalists think this way, but some do.) The people, who agree with the quote above, think that because there are enough charities that help all the foreign countries, their own country is loosing out on aid. A majority of people believe this, because poverty can cause the downfall of a country, and this is when affluence occurs.
