Wow some bitter people here, but um I think that it's called the lottery of life, you're simply born into the lifestyle you're born into!. It's simply a matter of economics and politics!. Sure there are the two-dimensional people who only donate to look better to other people, but there are some people who genuinely care for the people living in poverty, sadly though I don't think it's enough to wipe out the poverty some places in the world go through!. But just remember that just because some people's suffering is much worse than your's that doesn't mean your suffering does not count!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because people like you who do not care about society!. Your'e here for the money, and that's all!. You drive fancy cars and live in beautiful houses while we live in mediocre ones and drive from point A to B!. I pity you for even asking such a question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

because, the US is greedy, sneaky and smart!. We got ahead of the game early on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We are here to learn!. Some need the lesson that poverty teaches, while others need the lesson that too much teaches!.

It is all good!.

It is not fair!. To equalize everyone is technically communism (in its pure form)!. People don't help those who have nothing bc they are selfish, apathetic, and ignorant!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

With the exception of a few who inherit big fortunes, people are usually not born with money!. They usually work hard for the things they have!. Those who have more probably worked harder!. It is somewhat fair!.

The reason you have so much while others have nothing is that youbelong to a higher economic class!.

Some people live rich lives while others live in poverty because the ones who are living rich lives have all the money, meaning that those who are in povert do not!.

No one said it was fair!. Why would you expect it to be fair!? It's called free trade!.

You don't do anything to help those who have nothing either because you're apathetic, due to the fact that you've never actually had to work, or experience plight first hand, or because you're well aware of what's going on, but you'd rather keep your money for yourself!.

And what's wrong with society is too much to get into!. Most things are wrong with society, actually!.

also, watch out with these sorts of questions!. If you go about it too long, people are bound to start calling you a communist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

At one time the US was a very industrial nation which brought us great wealth !. Which we shared !. Now we make nothing !. So our wealth is being siphoned off and we will be as the third word is now !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can only speak for myself!. I grew up in a home where my parents both worked and we barely made due!. As an adult I have worked very hard and finally got a career that I can make a comfortable living!. I am not rich by any means, but I think I am better off than my parents were at my age( we have the same number of kids)!. I can not truthfully say that I give to charity, but I see the need to help other people!. I think most of society (if they were truthful) feel the same way!. However I do not see the need to hand dollars to every person I meet on the street!. I suppose this makes me greedy, but I have seen too many people asking for money on the street and then drive off in their new cars!. I would think that rather than giving to people individually, I would be more likely to give money to an established charity that can show me how the money is used for the good of people that really need it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Personal wealth and poverty is predicated on socio-economic systems!. The material assets or lack thereof, of a nations citizens, is a direct consquence of that nations political ideology!.

Simply put; "Citizens wealth" and "Government social system" are NOT seperate entities!. Americas a capatilist nation, therefore what we have and/or lack is caused by capailism!. With this in mind lets address your inquiries!.

Q!. I dont understand why some people live such rich lives while others live in poverty!. (3 answers)

A!. Capatilism is a free market ideology!. Competetion drives our economy!. The government does not control supply or demand, the consumer and producers do!. Competetion in a free market place over limited assets breaks Americans up into three class systems: rich, middle-class, and poor!.

Q!. How is this fair!.
A!. Because we are freeeeeee! Freedom comes with a price, and the cost is that some of us will live in poverty!. Alternative socio-economic systems, that have very little to no poverty stricken citizens, are Communism and Socialism!. These systems "take-care" of the people by denying civil liberties!. Is feeding the poor "so to speak" worth handing over our freedom and power to government!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Fairness in the eyes of the beholder!.
In theory, those who work hard will get more!. However, those who work smart by using their money for investment may get even more!. Education play a part, good government also play a part!.

Many countries in the third world become a nation from colony suddenly!. They do not have good infra-structure and good educated middle class to lead the government!. Bad political ideology like communism and corruption make the matter even worst!.

These poor countries fail to learn from places with good government like Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong which prosper quickly!.

There are nothing we can do that can help these people!. Giving them money won't help them!. They need to set up a good government with good economic policy in order rid themselves of poverty!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is karma!. they are paying for what they have done!. If you do not want to be poor in you next life help others and be good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To answer you second question "How is this fair!?"!.!.!.!.!.!.!.no one said life was fair!. It isn't and it's never gonna be!. "Why do we not do anything to help those who have nothing!?"!.!.!.!.!.!.nothing we give them will help them in the long run!. If someone really wants to help, he would need to set up a healthy government and society in those impoverished countries!. "teach a man to fish" kinda thing!. Turns out, we don't have the authority to tell another culture of people how to run their country!.!.!.despite Premier Bush's escapades!. Outside of sending mass quantities of food and medicine, there isn't much one can do!. But that, my friend, will only offer momentary relief!. And so you ask "what is wrong with society!?" Well in most society's there exists a heavy undercurrent of selfishness!. I do not, however, consider this a bad quality!. You see, there is nothing wrong in the ideology of wanting the best for myself!. I will strive to achieve as much as I possibly can in possibly the only life I'll ever have!. In a world of momentary gain, it's every man for himself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
