Why dont you give away your money to poor people?
 

Alot of people around here are making alot of money. I am just curious why I dont see alot of threads about donating the majority of people's earnings to charity? Why do people buy Porsches and Jaguars when others are homeless? Why do we buy gold, when others are starving to death? have you people no shame? Why arent you giving your money to poor people?

Because the fatal flaw of human nature is greed.

If you truely feel strongly about this you could go transfer some of your bankroll to players at the small stakes tables.

I do. The difference being that I don't broadcast it into the whole world so that I can be praised. I am not doing it for that.

I feel no obligation too.

Read Mark chapter 6, verse 1-4. This isn't a Christian plug, it's just a good point about giving and charity.

Summary: When you give, do so in secret so that you are giving for reasons that are not selfish.

My wealth is not at the expense of the poor. The poor are not poor because I am rich. While poker is a zero sum game, life is not. Wealth is created. I feel sorry for a lot of people in the world -- but my money isn't going to do a damn thing for them. Getting away from liberals and socialists who preach income redistribution, zero sum economics and government solutions will help them.

There will always be poor -- as long as there are liberals.

Agreed.

When I hear about income inequality and the "gap" between the rich and the poor supposedly widening, I have to laugh. Don't people realize that what matters is the size of the PIE? If the whole pie grows it doesn't matter what the friggin proportion is because everyone's benefiting anyhow.
