Econ 101.
Do you give much, most, or all of your income to the poor?
What makes you think I want to help the poor at all?
I just believe in honesty. Crocodile tears for the poor while engaging in a habit like ours is hypocritical.
Besides, eliminate the poor and the next lowest income bracket will be considered the "poor", and everyone will bitch that we need to help them.
