Why should the United States – which represents such a small percentage of the world’s population – control so much of its wealth?

Because we invested a huge amount of time, effort, and money in generating that wealth. It’s ours. We earned it. And we’re happy to have mutually beneficial trade with others. What we aren’t interested in is giving handouts to people who will only ask for more handouts.

Why should people that do not make the effort enjoy the fruits of someone else’s labor?
