The below is an interesting comment made on the article by Nick Grace in Solihull on 25 Apr 2007. I strongly agree with his view that the rich in all societies should be practically and financially assisting the poor in order to build a better and stronger society...
"Therefore, in all societies, there is an ethical need and even a self-preservational requirement for the support of all members of that society, whether appearing deserving or not. By attempting to decide who and who isn't deserving of help from the society based upon whether or not they produce capital or anything immediately useful for society is self destructive to the future of that society. It is necessary to support and protect those poorer members of society in order to produce a richer and overall better society in the long run. Merely looking at the short term inconvenience placed upon the individual members of the society in having to contribute to the support of poorer members through taxation is self-destructive to the long term survival of that society as a whole."
