Because those 1st world countries aren't paying the 3rd world countries for the resources. They are simply going in and taking them and making a profit. Also a lot of times there aren't actual governments in these 3rd world countries to pay for the resources. And in the case of Afghanistan we are trading grains and food for the oil we get from there and most of the time it is private companies who own these not the government, so only the rich get richer.

Why are taxes so high for lower class people?
I'm not sure I would use the term class...I've met many people with large incomes that have none...and many with small incomes that have a huge amount.
However, your supposition that low income pay high taxes is simply incorrect. In fact, the lower 50% of earners pay no tax and about 50% or more of them actually get money back through earned income, child tax and other credits and programs.
In fact, The top 5% or so of wage earners pay @90% of all taxes paid. Which considering they probably use many less public services, is all the more unjust.
These percentages, approximated here, may vary a bit but are fairly consistent over decades. And be certain...they pay BOTH more money and a much higher percentage of their incomes than lower earners. (Lower & Mid incomes that actually pay tax normally pay no more that 15% of their earnings...high earnings rarely pay less than 35%).

Did John McCain and Barack Obama like each other?
Yes and no. When they were both senators, they weren't close friends, but they got along perfectly well; however, they had very different views on politics (McCain was a conservative Republican, while Obama was a center-left Democrat). But once they began to campaign against each other for president, the rhetoric on the campaign trail got very intense and both were very critical of the other person's policies and proposals. Still, I've never seen any evidence that they had a personal dislike for each other. It's just that both men were very competitive and wanted to win.

How can someone win by electoral votes and not by popularity vote?
It is possible that a candidate could win the "national" popular vote total but lose the electoral vote total. However, the electoral vote of every state accurately reflects the popular vote within that state. A candidate could win the electoral votes in a large state such as California winning the state by a huge margin. However, the opposing candidate could win the electoral votes in other states because a majority of the voters in those states vote for the opposing candidate.
