I feel we usually owe much of our success to others, so why not pay back a little?
I'm not talking about bums or the type who prey on people's sympathy, but the people who would love a chance if only they had it. |
Sounds like a "pay it forward" idea. Interesting.[/b][/quote]
I'm not sure the "pay it forward" idea is what I was getting at, but my knowledge of the concept is scant at best. I'm thinking of different approaches than the usual methods of welfare and charity. If, for instance, you are a severely disabled Vet, welfare would make sense as there isn't much you can do for yourself in our society. But for a homeless Vet (or anyone else in the same situation), an old car and a minimum wage job would be better than handing him a million dollars.
