Yep just raise everyone’s taxes in the EU and US/Canada and give it to everybody else, sounds awesome.

It does! I want to be taxed more to help others in need, and for the betterment of all.

Sadly, we have to fight a pretty big portion of our population that got that "fuck you got mine" attitude.

Then donate your money to a worthy cause.

I already do, but that's completely missing the point.

Donating isn't enough to solve the issue, and, moreover, it puts all of the onus on the good-willed people, which is just super convenient for you, isn't it?

No, everyone needs to contribute to a better future. Such economic individualism is what caused these problems in the first place.

I give more to charity in both time and money than you ever have, I guarantee it. Take your assumptions and pound sand.
