By Peter Singer's own ridiculous logic, Peter Singer is a murderer. By selfishly keeping 80% of his salary for himself instead of giving it all to an organization, he is committing murder. See how that works.
Peter Singer apparently does not realize that in order to have the resources to support charitable and relief organizations, wealth must be produced. It is economies that produce the least that are least able to support people. It takes wealth to be able to support those things he wants us to support, so if no wealth is being produced by an economy (no one making money off producing and selling cars, appliances, electronics, or any other consumer good that isn't absolutely necessary to own) there is no means of supporting his causes.
In short, he doesn't want to spend (waste in his mind) resources feeding the golden goose, but he still wants the eggs.
