Of course, everyone ideally should have an equal opportunity to
have a good life. And, I should contribute to making this
situation become a reality, but I think the system is pretty fair
as it stands today. Consider all the taxes we pay in this country
already. I have done and will do my fair share.

I have never seriously considered this type of question--and
frankly, I don't like being made uncomfortable and asked to
respond to these rather one-sided, simplistic statements. You
sound like a liberal.

The problems of the poor are largely caused by poor
governments and big business: bureaucracy, dictatorships,
inflation, unemployment, mismanagement, greed of the people
in power, etc. I certainly can't do anything about all the bad
governments around the world.

Do-gooders preaching about our obligations to the poor upset
me. Let everybody take care of themselves. The poor have too
many children and often don't even try to help themselves.
They could get out of poverty if they wanted to. "The poor are
always with us," the Bible says, so it must be God's will. People
usually get what they deserve.

I want to do well, to have "the good life," nice home, cars,
luxuries, etc. In this country we have "freedom," which always
results in some people having more than others. That's the way
it has to be if we are free. Why should I suffer just because
others are unhappy? Besides, our country couldn't possibly feed
all the hungry in the world, educate everyone, care for all the
sick, etc.
