I'd say the Golden Rule is a good enough reason to "do what is right", in most cases - but the devil is always in the details. "We have a moral responsibility to help our fellow man" may be generally true, but consider - ALL of them? no matter where they may be, and whatever their circumstances? Surely not, and I think this is his point.
My point is that right and wrong literally do not exist. If you argue that this is something we should do because it is the moral thing to do, then your argument has failed by default, unless it is possible to strip the "this is moral" out of it, and reconfigure it into an argument of a different sort.
