Should the wealthy support those who are less fortunate?

Answer 1

Either hard feelings, they don't like them, or they don't care

In truth the only deference between the 'wealthy' and the 'poor' is the ability to take risks. Most people are afraid to fail, while some do not understand that it take long hours and repeated effort's to succeed.

Examples of these are:

Eli Whitney, middle class, with the Cotton Gin, he never even thought of a Cotton Gin until he moved to the South. He also figured out the method used for mass production while trying to make it easier for others to build equipment.

Thomas Edison, poor, he failed at making the light bulb almost 1000 times. But, never giving up he gave us light, as well as the record player

Diamond Jim Brady, He was a 'dirt' poor Polish immigrant that rode the railway's selling equipment to stores across America. He ended up Owning on of the largest Mansion's in Newport Rhode Island's famous Cliff's. He became a multi millionaire because he took no's in stride.

Steve Jobs, middle class, failed several times at creating the computer, but now he is a Billionaire.

Bill Gates, middle class, failed multi-ple times working with Paul Young, middle class, creating the program system which is now known as Windows. Both are Billionaires now.

Tom Greene, lower middle class, was tried of cutting his scalp when he shaved, he sent an idea to Gillette and to Schick about a 'head shaver', they both turned him down. He decided to move forward from the "no's" and designed it himself. His company earned $10,000,000.00 dollars in 2010.

Jon Huntsman, dirt poor, lived in a cardboard walled house. He developed a way to make plastic utensil's and containers. He became a Billionaire.

What is even more important then their 'desire' to succeed is their desire to help others. While Politicians explain that the rich are 'evil' these men mentioned above have always gave back to the community, Eli Whitney gave his 'Cotton Gin' to the farmers, instead of patenting it first. Why, because he knew they needed it disparately. Thomas Edison opened schools and made many people wealthy through his work and his money backing them in their work. Diamond Jim created the first true Sales Office making thousands of people rich, people that were poor before coming to him. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Paul Young, have created more millionaires then any other group of men in History. Bill Gates gives away to build school's all help communities over $30,000,000.00 per year. Steve Jobs gives Millions away to ensure children have computers in school.

But the largest heart of all the wealthy successful people listed above is by far Mr Jon Huntsman, who has given all his wealth away. Some in the form of Cancer Institutes, some in the form of Education grants for children to have a college education, and the rest to help the people of the world to have the chance to be successful in life.

This important lesson in life is that those that tell you about evil, are usually evil. The same politicians that complain about the rich not giving enough are the same ones stealing from you. The head of the Income Tax commission, didn't pay his taxes. The one railing about banks, gave her husbands bank $50,000,000.00 in bailouts.

The best thing to do is when someone tells you something about someone else is to do your own research and find out for yourself what the truth really is.

Answer 2

Yes, the wealthy should support those who are less fortunate by contributing financially through donations and philanthropy, creating opportunities for employment and education, and advocating for policies that address systemic inequalities. Sharing resources and expertise can help create a more equitable society and lift others out of poverty.
