Is it my financial responsibility when poor have children?

How much do I owe them?

Who is the best to spend my money?
Objections from the “Flat Earth” society notwithstanding, I think we all can agree on two facts:
- The planet Earth has a roughly spherical shape
- People are having sex and, consequently, babies on every corner of that sphere
Most of these babies I do not mind, I mean when they are born in China, India, Indonesia, Africa… etc… I mean who cares? Right? I am sure their parents do, I am sure their governments do, and when there is a good famine, I am sure some nice caring people, none of whom is me, do. But I sure don’t. Nor should I, or should I? I mean morally speaking year there is this childe brought into this world, and there are no food, no water, no medications, no schools, no jobs, no Internet, and generally nothing to do but fornicate and procreate the cycle. As long it is happening over there it is all fine and well. I mean my heart goes out to them, my money stay in my wallet, everybody happy. At least everybody I know.
Now when the children are born here in my country the situation is somewhat different. Not so much because I sired all this offspring, but because there are a lot more people, who allege to care a lot more, by screaming a lot louder and demanding that I pay with my own money for these less fortunate individual, no matter what age these people are, and what ails them.
I do not want to be considered heartless, but rather logical, I understand that the retired are our past, and that the children are our future, specifically mine, since I plan to retire while I am still alive, and those little bastards will have to work very-very hard to pay for my retirement (like that’s going to happen). So I, as a member of the society do need to provide them with basic food and shelter, some medical so they live long enough to pay their own bills, and, hopefully, some of mine. But where does it end? I mean did not make these children, I did not have sex with their parents, I did not watch the video with their parents making them, and I even didn’t see their parents in a swimsuit picture, most of the time I don’t even know they exist – and that is what I like most about them. But where does it end?
Two people fornicate –three cheers for them, they have a child, great. What is my responsibility to that child, the child’s parents, and most importantly where does it end? When have my own child my responsibility begins and ends with feeding them, sheltering them, educating them. So why is it that when complete strangers have children and can’t or won’t take care of them it appears that my responsibility towards them is greater than that of their own parents?
Because I am more fortunate? Sure, I also work 60 hours a week. Because they need it? Sure, but so do those invisible bastards in China, India, Indonesia, etc…, Because I can? Sure, but I have other uses for my money – lobster ain’t cheap, and some very hot mamas in Vegas will take more in one night than a whole poor family in a month, so you can see I really need my money. I am just asking at what is it morally ok for me to enjoy fruits of my labor, without being guilted, or shamed, or threated, or being spit upon by someone else’s liberal child, who hasn’t done and honest day’s work, but already knows what it is I owe him, the government, and those less fortunate, that are not my family.
