I believe that having less than somebody else does not entitle you to what the other guy has. I do believe that should the other guy CHOOSE to entitle you to his possessions, (i.e. charity) then that is legitimate.

I also believe that charity is most effective when it is done personally. What i mean by this is you should know the person or organization you are giving to very well, so you can make the right call on who deserves your charity. The question one should ask himself before giving his poseesions away should be this: Who will make the most of what you give them?Giving to a money vacuum, like a drug addict, will not improve things long term. Giving to a productive friend who has fallen on hard times is well worth the investment long term.

"If there was no third world, the West would not be able to produce everything that it does. If there was no lower class, business would falter and fail."

Im going to take this theory and propose a scenario: If everybody in the world had a large amount of wealth, what would happen? Several things would occur: the price of menial labor would go sky high, because implicit in your line of thinking(and therefore this scenario), the wealthy do not specialize in menial jobs. Then, the wealthy would learn to specialize in menial jobs while simultaneously using their money to invest in labor saving technology, because consistent with reality, all business owners like to save money.

In the end, the wealthy would STILL be just as rich, but instead of helping bring the poor out of poverty, they would simply BECOME a new "lower class" which consists of highly skilled and paid menial laborers. T


Winning Position: Morally, should charity always be voluntary?
