Something tells me he thinks we should let people in our own country fail as well.

How do you really think the Nordic climats got populations that were able to think ahead so well? Was it by propping up everyone equally or was it by letting those who did not plan ahead starve off?

It is not popular to think about, but by making sure no one starves or dies due to lack of planning or stupidity we end up with a society that cares heaps about each other, but also one that is no longer selecting for intelligence, resilience, and versitility.
