The irony is that the spam is being mailed off of servers in countries that need the money the US would hypothetically be saving to donate. The US has tons of people in its own country that need help, yet our tax dollars keep going everywhere but where it's needed. Money saved in the US isn't guaranteed to go where it 'should' go. There's a lot of wasted money flowing through the US. For example... millions and millions spent everyday in the justice system on frivelous lawsuits and prosecuting ridiculous things like possession of marijuana. (I don't smoke it but think it's stupid that it's illegal when cigarettes are not)
