Oh, I missed that since the original statement was about foreign aid.
I would say that in some countries you do not need domestic donation since you have a working welfare system. Which seems to me to be a much better solution to the problem.

Your claim about charitable giving being an example of egoism rather than virtue is a splendid example of advanced philosophical thinking.

Pretty basic philosophical thinking. If you use terms you have to understand them. You claim for the reason of donations seems to me to be more of wishful thinking.
