They don't care about us, probably have never heard of us, so why should I give a fig for them, and why should my/our taxes be taken from me/us, when they are meant to (presumably) keep us fed/healthy if nothing more, in OUR day of need.

Touché. And really rather brilliant.

The individual people who are suffering and need our help are not the pig headed government. As Poppy said they are Burmese by accident of birth not by choice.
