I like to put it this way using Rand's own words, just spelled correctly (laughing): It's Not "Selfishness". It's CELFishness. Every cell in the body is totally responsible for it's own survival and Happiness and once those needs and desires are met, the value is automatically passed on. Much like bending over backwards to share the food you made with someone that drops in at supper time. That, in my observation is a part of being Human as apposed to being Humanoid, (Human-Void).
That is not to say that anyone can't sacrifice what ever they want (so long as it does not harm others). That, just like free speech should be conserved as a right and not a requirement>
Yes, good point. So many advocates of altruism are pushing for power and influence - for themsleves. I am reading about Malthus at the moment. He explains how welfare can help a few individuals but works to the detriment of the poor, handicapped, unlucky and everyone else in general.

$24B on homeless programs!
My guess is maximum altruism benefit would be around $0.5B spending.
Maximum socio-economic benefit at around $50m for water, wastewater, law enforcement at the sites.
