Don't move the goal posts to hide your hypocrisy. You didn't say anything about taxes. You said "that money is more valuable than some people!" You have money, you're spending money to buy entertainment. People in Africa are dying and they wouldn't be if you sent them all of your money. You're not sending them all of your money. Ergo, you find that your money is more valuable than some people. Own up to it. The case is crystal clear. You can't talk your way out of the standards that you yourself set down.
Context is everything. Unfortunately when you jump into a discussion of which you know nothing about the history, you miss all that. When Turtledude made the statement that he valued money more than some people, we were discussing taxes, not emergency relief. Not that I am opposed to providing emergency relief with tax dollars. However, Turtledude would be opposed, as he considers his money far too valuable to be taxed to help people in need.
Now if you wish to change goal posts and talk about personal contributions for relief efforts around the globe we can do so.
