I visited my friend in his country (counted in the world) as " 3rd World Country" (sorry I am unable to disclose the name of that country) . During walkig in a posh street I saw a rich man seated in a new brand Mercedes Benz, A german Shepherd Dog was also sitting in the front seat adjacent to the rich man. The weather was very hot and it was not possible for anyone to stand for 5 minutes on open space i.e sun.
I saw a beggar who was blind he was accompanied with his little daughter, they came near that car both begged the rich man for money & help.
As the man was probably listening to the music and the dog was engaged in eating costly Burger in the airconditioned car, the rich man do not bother to open the window and to listen the grievances of the poor blind beggar!
I was sitting in a nearby hotel and was watching this scene!
When the rich man observed that the beggar will not leave him without money, he handover the remaining burger,which was left by his dog!
I was very much shocked to see this attitude of the rich man.This shows that the value of rich man's Dog was superior than a Human!?
will any body tell me why the rich dont care the poors?

I really can't say because different country has different condition of employment. Over here there is always work, but people don't always want to do it, it's pride. but in my homeland, there is way too many people and too little employment opportunity. people there don't have enough to eat, let alone medication and doctor fee if they're sick. I could safely say there is no such a thing as rich man there, maybe middle class who also works hard to keep being there. The only people who drive Mercedes Benz and Bentley whatever will be foreigners, they used to bring this car in from their country.
I myself came from middle class family and we have to keep working and save for the future. Having an imported car will cost us the house, so it's not worth it.

Personally I think this would make a funny scene in a movie.
I am not rich but I have and get whatever I want. It is plain and simple. I work.
This is why the beggars are treated this way.
I own a company and do more physical work than ANY of my employees. We often encounter people begging along the road.
Some will have signs that say "Will work for food."
Did you know that not a single one of them took us up on the offer to work? None. If they are not willing to do what I am doing for money, then they deserve the position they are in.
Having this experience, I would guess that the man was not blind. If i couldn't see his eyes I would call it a scam.
Maybe the rich guy knows how those people are and you are a naive observer.
Look at it from both sides before you judge.
