Do the rich really donate a lot for charity (not counting tax write offs)?
I say:
I don't know as I AM NOT RICH, and I only know one person who is rich, and he is also a shoplifter and a tax cheat. (one of the reasons he is rich, and of course the stock market.)

Do you personally donate a lot to help those in poverty?
I say:
Everytime I see a valid cause that is being collected for, if I have change in my pocket.

About private welfare system, please read in this message chain - message number 7. Where I proposed already the idea about a non-governmental welfare system. I would like for you to post comments or a repley to that message idea. Scroll up to number 7 and take a peak. Thanks.
I say:
If it is voluntary by the individual to donate, and no money is handled or distributed by the government, I have no problem with it.

Regardless of what idea it is, if it violates those two principles, I am against it.
