why do rich people not help poor people?
It's stupid how people in normal financial situations like me are walking 10,000 miles in autism awareness walks and my friend's grandma who is old is voulenteering in soup kitchens, and my PUBLIC school that is good but middle classed has an entire service club helping people but rich kids sitting on money bags spat at poor one's and saying how they hate their parents fit not buying them a third private island, and young rich men are too lazy to work long hours in a hot room claiming they are allowed to enjoy the money and nobody else can have it, and big private schools with fancy this, and fancy that can't give back, and my mother says that if we become rich she will give some to poor. I may live in a rich country but that doesn't mean everyone is rich. In my school's service club (green key) is currently helping a woman who can barely move. Why can't those with money to give?

I like to pretend that in a different life the rich people switch roles with the poor people. I know it sucks, there's people out there who complain about not having the newest model yacht and then there's the folks who are trying to figure out where to get their next meal from. You can't be resentful or hateful about it, the only thing I'd say to do it practice kindness and patience. They may be rich but you don't know what their struggles may be. Life's not fair, you just have to do what you can to survive and make sure you're enjoying it, not wasting it on being jealous or angry.

I'm simply going to offer a different take to what you and the previous advicenator said. While it might seem like rich people don't help those less fortunate, we don't really know for sure in a person to person basis. Now I'm middle class, however I do know some really good wealthy people that help as much as they can. My boss' family for example does this thing every holiday season where our work place collects money to donate and he and his family triple that amount and donate it all. Now I don't know about you, but that's pretty amazing... I mean it's something I definitely couldn't do! Another example is this guy I met while volunteering. He was wealthy enough to have an Audi and like 20,000 DVDs. Yet together we started an organization to help feed the homeless people in our city. He provided a lot of the start up funds because I was incapable of giving so much. I made up for it with time. Now it's not to say the opposite isn't true. I knew one girl that was spoiled rotten and cared about only what she could buy (I've always gone to school with people of the upper class). I'm simply saying it's good to consider both sides of the argument. In addition you never know exactly how much someone has donated though time and money. For example, one year I didn't participate in the office donation. Now if that's all you knew then you might think, wow what a loser. She couldn't even donate a couple dollars. What they might not have known was that I donated about $800 that year to different causes. So you might not be seeing the whole story. Don't let some terrible people ruin your perception of everyone!

If you take a look at the social class, it is the middle class that gives the most. Middle class make up the majority of work force and I believe they range from $25,000-$100,000 a year. Maybe its that sense of, "I have been there, so I understand how it feels" that has middle class giving more.
I am in your position, and I am baffled by the amount of greed the upper class holds. I don't understand how one person can have so much money, and not help anyone else. If you go to youtube and look up "Wealth inequality" .. It is absurd.
By the way, parents who have to work their way up from the bottom and are now in excellent economical condition are still not rich. Their children are, because they don't know what it is like to work their butt off to really earn what they have.
Look up Affluenza. It means, "a psychological malaise supposedly affecting wealthy young people, symptoms of which include a lack of motivation, feelings of guilt, and a sense of isolation." Children that grow up in rich families grow up detached from the real world, they have no sense of motivation because... well.. they dont ever have to work hard to earn for what they get. "What does it matter that Billy has the latest ipad air? My parents will get it for me too."
To be honest, my opinion is that ..because their parents give everything to them at the blink of an eye, they have no real sense of achievement. I believe that the poorest people of the social class ARE the upper classes, particularly the upper class' children. Once you're up there, and at the top, there is no real sense of having to achieve anything.
I also don't think that every single rich person is this way, and I really hope not, but the sight of seeing how much better off the upper class is compared to the rest of the population is ridiculous.
