If you good or rich, you label 'cheat'. Unethical video

It's a scary thing. Society can be idiot at times. In fact, it's one of the reasons why man can never be successful. I feel we like spending 50% of our time, putting others down. Yes, we have sure reach the Moon, but our brains are practically much contain as much flaws as it with cow's dunk.

Given this as an example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuqGrz-Y_Lc#at=13 "Money on the Mind".

You know how ridiculous the video is? It is like spreading bitterness and not look at how the rich give back to community. Funny how the rich would donate millions of dollars while the poor give thousands and claims that their matter more.

Seems like the universe or God keeps showing them that's how life is for them. It's a stupid thing, really.

Wow! Fascinating video. I'm not totally surprised by the results of the studies about very high income people versus low income people.
But I think you're making a very "black and white" statement about the studies' conclusions. I think there bad and good poor people as well as bad and good rich people. The rich ones you're referring to that donate millions are getting huge tax write-offs which in turn lowers their tax bills. Sometimes the poor may have a point about their donations mattering more. And I'm not talking about the donation itself or the intentions behind a donation. I think it's more about what they're giving up or sacrificing to make a sizeable donation.

A low income person making $25,000 annually and a 10% donation of $2500 to charity is going to "feel" larger than a millionaire who's donating his 10% at $100,000 to a charity. Most low income people aren't going to have the same asset values (more expensive homes, 401K plans, larger pensions, investment income, etc.) that millionaires or much higher income people already have. But I think some of this all relative because of what happened in the market in 2008-2009. Just look at someone like Madoff who stole millions from thousands of people during that same period. Other rich people and middle class people suffered at his hands. I just think there's a lot more "grey area" here and not all rich people are like Madoff.

Perhaps the poor may have a point but that doesn't support your reason enough to ALWAYS think and complain that the rich didn't do anything. Like you have said, it's all relative, grey areas. There are some "bad" rich people and "good" rich people.

It can be annoying though, because i am poor too, (depends on one's term of poor.)
