Is it responsability of the rich to save the poor? Why?

Answer 1

Well, look at this way. The poor actually subsidize the rich. The poor work for minimum wages that are so low they can't support a family--all so the rich can jack up record profits. The poor don't get health insurance, so they pay with their health--again to subsidize the rich. All these things create low prices/high profit margine that help only upper income people, since poor people don't share in the gain.

Answer 2

It is wisdom rather than responsibility for the rich to save or help the poor. Wisdom because otherwise the rich run a higher risk with extremely dissatisfied as well as disillusioned poor population teeming around whose frustration would naturally target the rich. It is wisdom also because helping the poor would give them a level of satisfaction and happiness that any amount of money spent on themselves can not give.

Answer 3

It is the responsibility of the rich to HELP the poor. They don't need to save them.....The rich can help by donating money and volunteering but in the end, the poor need to stand up for themselves.

Answer 4

well because im poor im going to say yes for now, i believe the rich should be required by law to become poor by relinquishing all their money and possessions to the poor, even selling the clothes and belongings of their old and young, including babies, family members so the poor can become even richer.

then when all the poor are rich and the rich are poor, the new rich will govern the land and make it hell on earth for the new poor.

very tasteful due to the irony.

Answer 5

Dear Friend,
As log as we have the necessary things for survival (like food to eat, bed to sleep, roof for shelter, clothes to cover etc) we must share our good things with our neighbours and poor people. Richness in terms of Materials as well as values. There is no obligation as society will not throw us away if we dont help others but we should initiate and also teach children to do the same so that world becomes a place of harmony and not chaos.

Answer 6

The poor needs to save the rich and the rich need to save the poor. We all need balance. The poor live in physical poverty and the rich live in mental poverty. Both live in filth, as long as they try to be something they aren't.

Answer 7

Hell NO! Everyone should be responsible for themselves! To be truly free you must be an individual who makes your own life choices. This is not to say we don't have compassion for your brothers and sisters.
Do you remember the old quote that says something like: If you feed a man a fish today, he will have something to eat. But if you teach him to fish he will never go hungry?
You give a person a hand up in this life. Not a hand out. This definitely gives another person dignity and self respect.
A hand out belittles a person. It also diminishes any self esteem. Then they will never have the confidence or self respect to care for themselves.

Answer 8

It is social responsibility. If they don't help out and uplift others, how are they going to genuinely enjoy their riches? People cannot all be at the same level, but you cant enjoy being filthy rich while others are dying of poverty and disease. Social responsibilty can also impact greatly on crime levels.

Answer 9

an option yes but not a responsibility charity needs to begin at home laws that try to enforce charitable giving are a form of tyrany and are wrong charity is a function of the heart and legalism should never play into that

Answer 10

Yes....Because the rich are in control of our government.
