The author’s argument that it should be every nation for itself when they are in need of aid, whether financial or food, is brilliant and correct. If every nation were to always help out the others then the one that didn’t need help would end up depleting its own supplies and would in turn make that nation need help from other nations. These nations that were in need of aid would never learn how to manage their own country and they would keep relying on the aid of other nations to bail them out when they are in a crisis.(100)
For example, the United States is now sending financial aid to several different countries to help them out with their economy. However, now that we are sending all our money to different countries the nation is going bankrupt and the economy is on a downward plunge into oblivion. There are a lot of government pay cuts and thousands of job cuts. This is leading to an increase in unemployment in our nation and our economy is worsening. Since we have started to help other countries it has only benefited other countries and hurt ours. This is definitely a really bad idea.(101)
The statement that “under a system of private property, the men who own property recognize their responsibility to care for it, for if they don't they will eventually suffer” is true because if we didn’t care for ourselves and we let other people take over for you then they would use the land to excess and ruin it for anyone around. Imagine letting several different people borrowing a pair of your pants in one week. Wouldn’t they look absolutely and hideously, awful when you got them back? You probably wouldn’t even want to use them again after that. In contrast, if you just kept your own pair of pants and only used them once a week then they would most likely look almost like new.

The author says that in rich nations the population increases at a low percentage, as opposed to poor nations’ population increasing steadily at a high percentage. These poor nations have to move into untouched land and end up destroying the environment in their quest to provide land to grow crops to support themselves. The author says that for example, the use of technology has done irrevocably severe damage to the fish supplies, the forests and the pollution of waters, such as; ocean, lakes, ponds, creeks, and rivers.(87)
If we continue to let immigrants come into the United States then our food supplies will dwindle and our fertility of land will decrease. We won’t have enough room for all these people coming into America and so we will not have enough food to feed everyone and so then we will have to turn to growing more agriculture. This will lead to the depleting of the rich, fertile soil used to plant crops and the environment will not be able to sustain our hastily growing population. (87)
