I cannot answer the questions the way they are asked, we need to help in any way we can, both financially and in terms of manpower, but no we are not obligated to do so and it would not be unfair to not help, but it would be quite cruel and so not us.Although it is the Christian and charitable thing to do, remember: Puerto Rico is not a state, therefore they pay no personal federal income tax.
What say ye?
We aren't obligated to help American citizens that are victims of a natural disaster?
I'm going to assume you did not read my previous posts though I am pretty sure you did.
Not sure where you are coming from or going with this, but morally we are obligated to help everyone in any kind of disaster natural or otherwise...but not obligated to give them welfare handouts as some insist that is what we are doing...for some reason I don't think this answer satisfied you, but if you can clear up the reason for the question you asked me I would be glad to answer it again.

Facts;
`1 - Historic population losses continue across Puerto Rico - Do the math.
2 - Puerto Rico has no mineralogical value.
3 - Puerto Rico has no industrial base.
4 - Puerto Rico has only two things of value; a) land and b) being a vacation attraction.
That's because they're States, not Territories/Possessions...Wow. Y'all didn't say shit when red state Texas and Florida have their hand out for welfare .
Have you purchased your ticket yet? It all starts with that first step. Be the change you wish to see.No one is helping Cuba and there's no excuse for that.

The dirty little secret is that U.S. taxpayers bail out Puerto Rico every freaking day. About 21 billion is allocated by the U.S. to Puerto Rico every year and disappears through lack of supervision by federal agencies. Drain the freaking swamp.
Same with Texass, Florida. And Illinois has almost the exact same financial situation.
In answer to the OP - it depends.
If you're a RWNJ christian, only white people should be saved. If you're a normal person, you could not consider letting more than 3 million people die - of any color, creed, religion yadda yadda.

So the free market is not a good thing?It's a law designed to protect American shipping between American ports by saying that ships carrying goods from American port to American port have to be American made and flagged ships.
You need to do a leetle more research about that golf course, dear. The owners renamed the course after Trump when they bought it. The bankruptcy was filed under the original name. President Trump never actually owned an interest in the course, even if he allowed his name to be appended to the venture. But it's OK, don't let fact interfere with your fantasy narrative.Are the US taxpayers obligated to bail out Puerto Rico
YES, since they are U.S. citizens - and Trump could start by repaying Puerto Rico for his bankrupt golf course.
As fellow citizens and fellow humans, hell, yes, we should do what we can to help others suffering such disastrous misfortunes. Should government be mandated to confiscate from individuals to provide support and rebuild for these unfortunates, NO. It is not the mandate of government to do such things, it is imperative that each man/woman reach out and contribute what he/she is willing and able to in order to aid others less fortunateI cannot answer the questions the way they are asked, we need to help in any way we can, both financially and in terms of manpower, but no we are not obligated to do so and it would not be unfair to not help, but it would be quite cruel and so not us.Although it is the Christian and charitable thing to do, remember: Puerto Rico is not a state, therefore they pay no personal federal income tax.

The difference between goodwill and charity and government coerced assistance is when individuals willingly and freely contribute to aiding those afflicted and less fortunate and government taking, by force, from individuals and then redistributing that "largess" as the politicians see most fit. In one instance, generosity flows from the source. In the second instance "generosity" is mandated and coerced and then doled out to only those entities considered worthy by the powers that take from those who would otherwise freely have given.I cannot answer the questions the way they are asked, we need to help in any way we can, both financially and in terms of manpower, but no we are not obligated to do so and it would not be unfair to not help, but it would be quite cruel and so not us.Although it is the Christian and charitable thing to do, remember: Puerto Rico is not a state, therefore they pay no personal federal income tax.

Why Christians and conservatives are the most racist and the least to go out of their way to help refugees and others in crisis? Wouldn't Jesus go above and beyond to help and provide?

Hmmm...the problem here is that the left has preached for decades that you should not impose/force your moral beliefs on anyone else...so if there is no difference between moral obligations and what ever the heck "plain obligations" are then shouldn't you be taking the lefties to task for this? and what makes trump racist if it is Americans he is not helping? can you explain that without torturing both logic and the language.Because it doesn't matter where they are... they are American citizens and should receive the same amount of support those did in Texas, Florida, or Louisiana. There shouldn't even be a question about this. There shouldn't be any question between morally obligated or just plain obligated.
