BUT...

The cases of rich folks who CARE about the less fortunate are are too few given the numbers ,and that makes me wonder..
What is it about the CULTURE of wealth that prevents wealthy people from stepping up to help the poor survive?

Why do rich people not help with the funding food banks,soup kitchens giving food or assistance to poor people?

Why is that?

Poverty is not a popular cause among the richest donors

1. Only 1 gift was made to a human service charity, the American Red Cross
2. Oprah Winfrey's gift to Oprah's Angel Network was the only direct contribution to an international development organization
3. None of the largest donations went to a social service agency, homeless shelter, food bank, or other organization that provides direct assistance to the poor

Here is a breakdown of where the money goes..
