If you have worked to be wealthy or lucky to be one, you should see it as a social responsibility to help the less privileged people in the society. If I may ask, do you feel comfortable driving past several beggars on the street when you have billions of money in your account that you or your entire family may not be able to exhaust in the next 100 years?
 
I completely disagree. If I worked hard enough to become wealthy and paid taxes why should I be bothered with beggars, homeless, etc.?
Isn't it the responsibility of the government to distribute our taxes in such a way so that they help others who experience difficult life situation?
Shouldn't is be the problem of those beggars to find any kind of job (cleaner, dishwasher, deliveryman) to earn at least several hundred dollars a month and rent a small room?
