When couples disagree about charitable giving and inequality

My spouse and I are fighting about donating money because I want to give a significant amount to address inequality but they think we should focus on our own financial security first and we both have data to support our positions. Every conversation about this turns into an argument about privilege and responsibility that we can't resolve.
