There are a lot of wrong statements in your post. A lot of wealthy people worked hard for that wealth, and no luck was involved. They deserve to live a comfortable life. A lot of poor people are not poor because they were unlucky, some are just lazy.

A typical example of this was when the Berlin Wall was broken down. Some of the people who was living in East Germany was simply not used to working hard and they were lazy too. So when the Wall came down, a lot of them went into poverty, because they were too lazy to work or they were not used to the concept of hard work = higher income, like in the west.

The Communist system in East Germany made them lazy and some of them could not handle the change. So, Capitalism is not all bad, people are encouraged to work harder for a chance of a better life.

I give more than 10% of my income to charities that are helping poor people find jobs and a way to sustain them until they reach that goal. Teach them how to Fish!

Absolutely ridiculous, this is the type of bootlicking that is destroying the world. THE MAJORITY of wealthy people get rich off the work of wage slaves. All the pfoits go to the shareholders and Executives. You are seriously dillusional, the hardest working people on this planet are dirt poor. Wake up! You are very brainwashed.

Stop talking crap, because you are only making a ass of yourself. My father had very humble beginnings and he worked hard to build a very successful business. In the end he had 1040 people working for him and he paid them respectable wages. None of these people were slaves, they fed their families and they had a decent living standard.

If everyone sat back and just waited for a social hand-out, then poverty will never be eradicated. Some wealthy people built an empire to serve themselves and THIS provided jobs for other people.

I paid for my own education and I did not go into the family business, because I wanted to stand on my own two feet and do it all on my own. I am currently employed and happy to participate in charities to create jobs for other people.

Yes, some assholes exploit poor people and they pay them less than the minimum wage to work like slaves, but a LOT of wealthy people are not assholes and they provide very good job opportunities and uplift the lives of millions of people around the world.
