In the third world capitalism's benefits go to the rich.  There is no middle class, or at least it's very small.  There are the rich and the poor and there are way more poor than rich.  Politicians know what side of the toast the butter is on.  Poor people vote too.

Makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Hurts more than helps.

I'd rather help the poor, because generally, the rich tend to be corrupted by their wealth(it's happens easily, even to the best of us.)The poor, by default, tend to know what REALLY matters in life.

I would prefer having the love of your life because money is relative. There are tons of poor people who seem to more happy than people with loads of personal possessions. It seems like they found love and somehow they survive relying on the strength of each other.

Because they have inherited money and don't have to work if they don't want to.The Social Register is a list of very wealthy people they are called socialites

Because the wealthy lack the knowledge, or willingness to help, or else, the poor have chosen poverty as being less cold than the world.

I would support anyone who helps out this cause and have myself on occasion, however the simple fact remains that they are poor because we are rich. There isnt, as many like to say, enough to go around, not if we want to maintain our current standard of living.

u know its suprising but, its not the wealthy ones but the ones who are rich from before that dont really respect money that much, while those who face hardships and earn money and are now rich that respect money and understand its worth. Thats why the donate to the needy cause they know what it means.

Studies have shown that the rich are growing progressively wealthier, with the richest 1% of the American people commanding upwards of 30% of the total personal wealth.  The middle class tends to be largely addicted to spending, with a small amount being directed towards appreciating assets - ie. they invest at a mucher lower rate than the wealthy.\n\nSo, in short.  The answer to your question is yes.

By some of the answers they skipped school can't read nor understand. Facts as you state the Richer pay a higher percentage, the poor pay none in fact they get a rebate not their money the richer give them for not earning enough the liberal way its the money us tax payers pay and I work for it they don't,  most. The ones that try I don't mind helping but not forever. You are not my dependent

I bet if you took a couple of starving ppl and sat them on the greedy person's doorstep, a lot of the greedy ones would shape up in a hurry. (At least temporarily.) They can get away with it now because the starving ones are total strangers and probably live far away. I guess they figure out of sight, out of mind. And the rich have NO freakin clue what it's like to be poor.

Because their machinery is different.  It's just biology.\n\nMen have "refractory time" to factor in before they can "go again," which tends to get lengthier as they get older.
