Since when has it become practice for those with excess to give to those in need? Sure, some do. But as a whole? No. Surely you've heard the phrase "He who dies with the most toys wins." (Yes, I've heard the alternate, ...still dies.) When you go out to a fancy restraunt, stay in a motel, isn't that a slap in the face to the starving homeless? I mean, you already have food at home, and a place to live. Here you are going out to eat when you don't have to. Staying in a place you don't have to. Vacationing? Ha! Well, you get the idea.
