Rich should help poor??

I think that, if you can afford to help others, you should. Yes, some people are poor because they made the wrong choices in life but some are born into poverty and it's very hard to survive, much less get a head. Supporting programs that offer educational assistance to kids in poor areas, supporting food banks that help keep kids from going hungry and supporting programs like Habitat for Humanity that helps low income families have homes of their own are all worthwhile things to contribute to. I don't believe in the "giving back" mentality that I keep hearing about on the radio and television. It makes me feel like I didn't earn what I have, that it was given to me so I should give some of it back and that rubs me the wrong way because I worked hard to get to where I am. Giving or not giving should be an individual choice and I don't think anyone should be pressured one way or another.
