If a street vendor or small business owner in another country is likely making a tenth of what I do, I don't feel bad about it at all.
I've even bought candy from kids representing a "charity" on the street and said, "nice scam you guys have going, keep up the good work," figuring that the people who can't afford $2.50 for a chocolate bar probably aren't going to be the ones paying for it.
Maybe I have a warped view of the virtues of capitalism, or maybe I wish I had thought of that when I was in high school. Either way, I can afford it.
