Let’s face it.
You really don’t want to help the poor or you would be doing that.
You admit that you are taking no actions to alleviate the poverty of anyone other than paying your allotted taxes.
What you really want is a more safe and secure life.
And you don’t want to expend the energy that that would require.
I currently pay more taxes. that is doled out to the poor, than you make in a year.
Who do you think is helping the impoverished more…....me or you?

Good luck with that…

Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life.
