  1.  @georgesikimeti2184  Not really as most of those fellow citizens will just piss it all away and end up right back at square one.

  2.  @stormssf8538  Where the state lives in luxury and everyone else live in squalor like Cuba? Eh, no thanks!

  3.  @stormssf8538  Shortages of basic needs are a feature in every other country that adopted communism/socialism.

  4. Plus, socialist nations also have rich and poor.

  5. Because the rich invest while the poor spend all they have.

  6. The rich have nothing to be ashamed of.

  7.  @silentstormstudio4782  Yet account for 45% of all taxes paid.

  8.  @cac1504  Better than the failure of socialism.

  9. LOL. No.

  10. And being put to work.

  11. Why should it be given to the poor? A lot of people are poor for a reason and it has nothing to do with the rich.

  12. Such as who exactly?

  13. Just like only the most naive person defends the poor.

  14. Why is it up to "the rich" to build them?
    1
  15.  @cemetry  Pretty much.
    1
  16. Because some people are just full of envy.

  17. Or at least improve your financial situation.

  18. Or India's post-independence socialist experiment?

  19.  @tivo3720  Because the poster is envious and entitled.

  20.  @citizen4321  Sad to see you're blinded by your envy.

  21. <Think of the lives they could have changed with their money.> They owe those lives nothing.

  22. <that could have been used to help the poor in India.> By what? Keeping the poor in perpetual need with their begging bowls out? If they truly care about helping the poor, they'd be teaching them how to make, manage and keep money so they no longer have to continue to rely on others just to get by.

  23. Yet Brazil and South Africa have the US beat.

  24. No. They cannot take from you what you never had to begin with or didn't exchange by choice as you went out of your own way to do business with them. Plus, the much of the rest of humanity is generally lousy with money anyway.

  25.  @kay9156  <Also, someone who has less than one who gives more, can be just as meaningful, if not more so, than someone who is abundant.> So why are people waiting on the rich to give?
    1
  26. Because charity has never gotten anybody out of poverty as too much charity encourages dependency and irresponsibility. And many of the poor would have just simply wasted the wealth.
    1
  27. Because it would have gone to waste. Plus, the "overly" rich don't owe the poor anything.

  28.  @catalina5382  <And no one should have that kind of money to spend on their wedding.> Says who? You sound bitter. <Billionaires with so much money to spend should not exist ,> Yes they should. They're the reason most people have a job and a steady paycheck to begin with. <I can assure they don't work as hard as literally hundreds of millions of people.> Who don't have the foresight to save and invest.

  29. No more wasted than what most poor people do with their money and then wonder why they 're broke and hungry all the time.

  30. Remember the guy who replaced him, Napoleon Bonaparte?
