"How do you feel about redistributing some of that wealth ...  to the global poor, who had little if any role in creating their problems?"  As a cash handout?  Probably not too effective - 'studies have shown', I believe, that (believe it or not!) we can't solve generational poverty by simply giving poor people money.  :-/  Secondly, the people we take the cash from (to divvy up amongst our poor friends) may not be as inclined to make more cash next year, if you and I are just going to steal it again.

Better, I think, to offer the 3rd-world poor some educational opportunity and a rural electrification system, plus some employment opportunity apart from (a) corrupt bureaucrat, or (b) subsistence-level herder or dirtfarmer.

And, to be sure, we *are* making some headway.  Even the NYT editorial page will admit that the % of the world's people living in desperate poverty (on < $1 USD / day) has been steadily dropping the last 20 years or so.  Gaia Bless globalization!  ;-)
