Evil?

I guess I'm probably preaching to the choir on this blog, but I tire of messages that equate being rich with being evil.

Isn't there some phrase like "it's easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than to get a rich man into heaven"?

I was just reading that Warren Buffet is going to give away 85% of his US$44 billion. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has US$41 billion to dish out.

The question is, if Warren Buffet and Bill Gates had volunteered every day of their lives working at a soup kitchen, how many people could they have helped?

And how many people can they help with $85 billion?

Go get rich everybody.

Living in the Us, especially at this time, the bashing of the "rich" is required of the media outlets. My question to all of those who work for a living and are not rich. Have you ever worked for a poor man?

Guess what. Without rich men and their grand capitalistic ideas, we would all be living in a welfare state by a government that was also bankrupt. Who do those rich haters think pay the lions share of taxes around the world?

Just my thoughts.
