I don't want to be rich. However, it would be nice to have a lot of money to help those who have little.
I always applaud those who are rich that are giving to those less fortunate to make a better world. Those that are in the public eye that build houses, or give for food, clothing, medical care, etc., for the poor, are compassionate people. Oh, some are only doing it, to get their names in the paper, but others are truly wanting to help. There are corporations that will do so also. I know some that cannot afford their medications that are very expensive, and the companies that make the meds. are giving them free. We are in this world not just for ourselves, but to help others less fortunate than ourselves.
The ordinary citizen like doctors and nurses that will go into these 3rd world countries and offer volunteer medical and dental care to those who could never afford it, the peace corp, etc., are heros!
However, some big name companies, or charity organizations are not all they are cracked up to be. Red Cross for one. Or Starbucks driving hugh trucks to Louisiana full of bottled water, and then charging victims of Katrina for it. Just because they are a big charity name, does not mean that they are especially charitable. The Red Cross receives millions of dollars for specific needs, but do not use them for the needs specified. They have a general fund and they dole the money out little by little. They are very tight fisted. During 9-11, they got millions for the victims, but funneled the money other places. Research your charities before donating.
The Red Cross has a reputation of this behavior. During the war, they would charge the service men for their coffee and doughnuts. That's not charity. The USO are no angels of mercy either.
