No one should prosper while others are starving.

So, you're giving away all your excessive money to charity? No matter how wealthy or poor you are, there is somebody who is doing worse then you.

First off, I would absolutely donate my excess money to charity. Unfortunately, there's two problems with that. 1: I live paycheck to paycheck and have no excess money. 2: charities in the US are not charitable, they're profitable. Look at the Susan G Komen foundation or the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Both incredibly profitable and do very little to actually make a material difference for those in need. Some are not bad though. I've been organizing a charity drive for Alpha house, a women's abuse shelter, through my local union. Just because I don't have money doesn't mean I can't find some way to help those who need it.
