Of course not, stop trying to oversimplify this into something
that it's not, you moron. You do what it takes to keep them from
starving in the street, you do what it takes to help them help
themselves. Contrary to your mentally retarded view on the real
world, most people living in poverty have excellent work ethics
and only need a little help to jumpstart their own personal
success. Help them go to school, help them to overcome the bad
luck and greed on the part of others that got them there in the
first place.

Mental midgets like you would have children starving in the
streets because of your personal greed and avarice. In fact,
I would go so far as to call people like you true psychopaths.

Every society that's had extreme polarization of wealth has
fallen to revolution and civil war, every single one. If you
think we're any different, that you can build a wall big
enough to protect you when that fall happens here, you are
seriously deluded.
