The parable of the widow's mite comes to mind.
Yes, of course, if rich people give away huge amounts, it is always a good thing, to be praised, and applauded.
But the parable talks of the old woman who had one coin in her purse, and gave it away to 'the poor'.
Which is the greater gift?
I know an elderly couple who give away about 35 percent of their net income, to charity, to poorer relations, to others. They say they don't need it, and have no need of any more material possessions.
Giving is a great thing.

I did some charity work for Mencap more than 30 yrs ago and this included me contacting about 200 companies for a donation, most of them didnt reply,about 10 gave me about a fiver, 1 gave me 100 cans of red bull, and 5 gave me about 200 quid in total. So you can see why i was a little suspicious about this mans generosity.
"In a nutshell 3t, nobody gets rich by giving money away. " - and neither did this guy. He got rich then realised he could never spend it in a 100 life times so decided to give some away. Bill Gates foundation exists only to give his money away. I think mark Zuckerberg has said that he intends to give away 95% of his wealth. Dump the cynic bone me old china.
