Oh I do believe in the American people. I am not sure why you think I don't.

I just don't believe in criticizing America for something as silly as "they couldn't end war and poverty single-handedly".

I am simply saying you need to be careful when trying to approach a problem like "solving all poverty". Nobody has ever done it, and generally speaking trying to do so makes things worse. I don't want America to collapse simply because we reached too far. Remember the story of Icarus.

Lets solve abortion first, which is much easier, and will set a good example for the rest of the world too!
