I THINK that the necessary spending of most people takes up a much larger portion of their earnings then say people like you....that is assuming you are actually wealthy and this isn't some weird twist on the Internet Tough Guy thing.

Ah, but other less well off nation have less necessary spending. Ofr example, I need a computer with Internet access to do my job, which probably wouldn't be true if I worked in a third world country.

we donate more. Our donations are worth less than a person who can only donate a penny. No matter how much I donate, it worthless compared to the amount a poorer person donates.



Sorry but your grammar and punctuation is horrid. Just saying it's harder to take someone seriously if you can't use the language correctly.

Point saying, the Bible is a contradiction upon its self and as such is more of an interesting read than anything that holds value.

I'd kill the rich, because not only would that mean killing fewer people, it would mean not killing off the people who know how to sanitize telephones.

Also, when you pose a pretty non-serious question (With a very Non-Serious and idiotic answer) You're going to get people who are non-serious with their answers.


On the brighter side of things, what do you specifically mean by Rich? CEO's, Business Owners, People who work for the government? (Like Audits or Human Resources or people who work for the various departments)
