To me, it seems like a very harsh commentary on charities and its recipients; the wretched might as well be dead than have to live on 70 cents a day, eating cereal and water and uneaten greens. It's a bad quality of life for them, so why bother? Couple this with the American need to accumulate weath and material possessions, giving our measly 70 cents a day and patting ourselves on the back for it. We could afford to do so much more, but we just do the minimum (if that), thus prolonging the deaths of the starving, not improving their lives.

To me, this is illustrating Bad Religion's disgust at America's double standard on charity. We give 70 cents a day and applaud ourselves as good people while working our hardest to raise that $80,000 a year to $100,000 because the $80,000 just isn't enough for us. The following line also functions as a bash on our new digital world where everything can and will be reduced to a number (I'm a programmer, I'd know), 'why reduce life to a dollar amount per day, why let the world think that this is the American way', and America seems to revel in this ability.
