If a person had 5 billion dollars, and gave 4 billion to the poor ...that would be giving 4/5 to the poor, yet some would see a million dollar home, three expensive cars, and a boat in the yard.  And that's all they would see, and they'd call them the rich ...and they'd hate them.

If 100 people lived in a town, and the entire town was poor ...but a rich man came, and offered them all jobs.  Suppose 95 of the people accepted the jobs and began living well ...but 5 people refused to work, as they preferred to stand on the street corners and ask for handouts from those now doing well.

Some people would say that rich man is not sharing his wealth with those 5 poor people. Others would say he helped 95 poor people.

Margaret Thatcher said that socialism is a great program, until you run out of other people's money. 

Our country pretends to voice a concern for the environment, while regulating our country to the point of sending jobs abroad ...where there is little or no regulation, yet concern for global warming or climate change concerns somehow ignore the simplicity of that absurdity.  If we relax the regulations, and keep the jobs here ...that would help employ our people, and "strengthen the hand of the poor".
