I'm not singling you out here, but I don't understand this at all. You're not giving to the poor because there are poorer people in third world countries? I would've thought that being exposed to cases of extreme poverty in third world countries would make you more willing to address the poverty situation in your own country.
Edit: Granted, I'm not stating that you should start a full-on "War against poverty", but rather you show compassion to the people who are less fortunate than yourself.
