They donate all the time.

They just buy huge houses, here .and there , act fake, try to get more money, and spend on crumby things. I mean how is it as soon as people get Rich they become kinda pathetic and thick. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1878295 Many people are poor because they continue to make poor choices in their lives. No amount of "help" can trump honest individual effort to succeed. If the effort is not there, that person is doomed to failure regardless. |

Over the years I've seen obituaries/stories in the newspapers about rich people you've never heard of. Inevitably, the article will mention that this person gave millions to charities ANONYMOUSLY there was one guy who would walk the streets on Christmas Day, handing out $100 bills to homeless people. You never heard about this when he was alive, because he didn't do it for publicity or aggrandizement. UNLIKE THE RICH MOVIE STARS, ROCK STARS AND POLITICIANS, WHO ALWAYS WANT TO HELP THE POOR WITH YOUR MONEY, NEVER THEIR OWN!! |

They donate all the time. Quoting: Munsoned Define "real rich"... Is this some kind of accumulated wealth which never needed stolen oil through wars, didn't need some kind of banking loan with monopoly money, wasn't propped up by an underground financier using drug trade cash, doesn't monopolize a market sector, doesn't prey on necessity, doesn't entrap the consumer with cheap Made In China products rebranded and sold at %5000 above manufacturing costs... Quite confused as to how you differentiate 2 classes of Rich. There's only 1 type of rich, the GREEDY, CORRUPT, PREMEDITATING, DECEITFUL, MONOPOLIZING type. Donation by this "real rich" is a pitiful way of supposedly erasing the guilt. And as for those BIG charity events, they aren't what you think they are, it's mostly a promotion of something underlying with a Public Relations Banner which distracts.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1136810 Canada 12/16/2012 08:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The only thing that you could give the poor that actually helps, is education that leads to practical skills. Quoting: Resonant Citizen 913721 All other options are pretty useless, as they seed dependency and lack of purpose. True. But you can stabilize the poor. Building wells in Africa, sending farming supply's. Opening rehab clinics. Paying off debts. Like the people who are burdened by a family members death. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 7570540 United States 12/16/2012 08:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wealthy people often give to the poor - but there is a difference between people who have made their wealth and know how to handle it and those who are suddenly rich and clueless. However, it does seem to be the human condition that when you reach a certain level of income, you move out of the ghetto or trailer park and never look back, thinking it's not your place to bring up every scumbag who lives there. I understand that. It's similar to when a black family makes it to middle or upper-middle class - they always move to lilly-white neighborhoods to live so that they can send their kids to good schools and raise them where there is less crime. However, when enough of them move into the neighborhood it again turns bad and infested with drugs and crime and the schools go to shit. Go figure. I guess there's a threshold on the percentage of trashy people (of any color) who can move into a neighborhood before it hits the tipping point. |

Just forking over cash to magnify someone's poor life choices is not "help", its a recipe for disaster. True "help" is assisting that person in creating the circumstances within their lives that will allow them to succeed. |
