My theory on taxation and charitable giving is that people who make more than [insert self] should be taxed more and give more to charity. Somewhat more seriously, I find that people who are capitalized rarely find it enough, can find innumerable rationalizations for stockpiling wealth, and the gradient to help out de-capitalized people is typically a trickle. I note that notions of worthiness and deserving play a big role in such rationalizations. Here is a poem that remarkably portrays this more succinctly:
Sum People (Capitalized)
Sum people
Have too much
Money
Though it is ever
Those who have more than me
It’s all a bout
Things
Looking up
People not sow much
the pour
trick
-ling
down
ever
more
