Does the US keep reaching out to the rest of the world when the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about the US? How much foreign aid comes INTO America?

>I'm curious how far breaking the law is ok in your view then. What else is it ok for them to do? Rob a bank? Steal from the grocery store? Steal a car? Break into homes and steal another person's belongings? Anything they think they need to do for a better economic life?
