Only going from memory Gene but I think there are international obligations that go along with being part of the G20 or other such bodies. It'd all be online somewhere, not sure where to look though and I agree it can be hard to fathom sometimes when you see people struggling in our own country. I guess the flip side is living in a poor country where there is no help for anyone, I've seen how people live in rural and semi-rural areas in places like Malaysia, Thailand, Fiji etc and it isn't very appealing.
