Should the rich be required to give money to the poor?
Everybody will have their own opinion on this and different reasons for that opinion.
Rich people are not obliged to give money to the poor. It is a matter of how you understand the action. You should stop for a little while and analyze the situation.
Would it make you feel complete or satisfied to buy stuff you don't even need or to eat food even though you're full? Is satisfaction achieved whenever you waste money and saw a family starving for food? You are blessed with money and comfort, don't you think you need to share it with the less fortunate? We also owe them something, because as you can see we are a product of the improving technology, we contribute to the improving technology as we buy their gadgets or clothing and etc., because many people like to have these things the demand increases, and as the demand increased the supply is also increased. And of course these can't be produced without the resources, resources that were plenty and free before but now became less and in demand to the extent that people bid prices or money for it. We can see poor people along the road because we lack resources which we need everyday. As what you know people before don't have money, sharing and giving were peacefully followed and done. We are the reasons why there is starvation. Now that everything's too late and people are already lured to the 'cool stuffs' we should help one another because to change things where it was before is a very hard and a very impossible thing to do. We are all one and you should understand that, we have the same needs to look up to everyday, the only difference is the name of the country we are staying in. The looks are normal there are really a difference in that part, come to think of it who would want or like to see people looking just like themselves? How would you recognize one from the other if we all have the same face? Now, back to the beginning, are you happy whenever you see people suffering from the things deprived from them? Will the saying 'regret comes after' become popular to the rich when many had died or risked their lives just to look for money? If these emotional questions won't affect you here are some tough one; what if a man knocked on the windows of your car asking for some food and you just ignored him, then suddenly one day a terrible news arrived, that tells a man kidnapped a close relative of yours, the same man as the one who knocked on your windows did the crime, would it be scary to think of what things he might do to your relative? Or here's another situation that man who knocked on your car's window was reported the next day as dead, he committed suicide because of the unfair or problematic world he is living in, will that affect you? Does this prove regret comes after? In the Philippine's currency 1.00 is important because that one peso creates or is in a million. Remember that simple things create a big difference. This is the part where I need to end my 'supposed' answer here's another quote or saying for you to think about, just relate the power with money, 'With great power comes great responsibility'.
No of course not. We don't know how that poor person became poor. It may be because drugs, illegal immigration, etc. Most of the poor people out there are poor because of their bad mistakes. People who have worked shouldn't be obligated to give poor people money. They should want to and give their money to a non profit organization.
They shouldn't be forced to give money to the poor, however. There are many people out there who are poor through no fault of their own. Often if a person if born into poverty they will stay in poverty throughout the rest of their life. The key to getting out of poverty is education and if a person is in poverty they are likely to have a bad education because they live in a bad area with people who disrupt the class, because they go to a bad school, because they cannot get help from their uneducated parents, because they have to many problems at home to be bothered with school or because their parents have a very anti-school attitude which then gets passed onto the child. If the child preforms badly in school they will drop out at sixteen and be stuck in a job they do not like. Can that person really be blamed for their upbringing? There are also many people who lost their jobs during the banking crisis and they cannot get another one because there aren't many.
Middle class people often donate money to charities and organizations to help these people out, but that is their own choice. It is after all their money and they can do whatever they like with it.
Is St Jude Children's Research Hospital a Muslim organization?
No, it is not. Danny Thomas, the comedian and actor, had prayed to St. Jude (the saint of lost causes) and had promised to build a shrine. He did so with the help of other philanthopists in Memphis during the 1950s. His heritage was Lebanese and he felt the support of St. Jude would honor his immigrant forefathers who had come to America.

This ones almost fun. The organization while a not for profit or tax exempt, needs to file a Form 990 with the IRS. This pretty much discloses everything. Also, generally, all the infor ation you want is available in the annual reports by the organization, either by just asking or on their website. The Form 990, the information return that has to be filed annually with the IRS, is a public document and is becoming even more public. As of this writing you are required to show any or all of your 990s for the past three years to anyone who comes into your office and asks to see them. You are also will required to to mail such 990s (for a reasonable fee) to anyone who writes and asks for them. They are becoming available on the Internet to anyone in the world who wishes to see it. There are several organizations that are currently working to achieve this effort, one of which Guidestar (see link), is a jewel. If your group is uncooperative...go there.

Kumahira safe locks are used in any number of banks accross the country. The number alone is not relevant to where the box may be, and also just having a key does not guarantee entry. You have to be one of the people listed on the bank's paperwork that coinsides with that given Safe deposit box number. This is to ensure that someone who happens to have a random key cannot gain entry to someone else's box.
