What I wonder is how many who go on about the poor, proactively do anything to help them. Like do their actions match their words of concern? It seems like "what can I personally do to help the poor on a regular basis (no matter how much it hurts)" should be their primary objective. If they really actually care about the poor.
Most that are complaining, are poor themselves. They like to point fingers and blame everyone else; businesses and the wealthy. Rather then looking at their own shortcomings that need improvements... Instead, they just demand more for nothing; at the expense of others.

Why isn't there some huge foundation that people care about the poor donate to, so that poor people can receive a stipend from it? They can completely bypass government aid systems with one of their own. So why hasn't this happened?
There is, most of the donations get sucked up by administration costs... Local ones that give back directly and supported by local business, are more effective.
Point 1:
My best friend whom I lost to heart disease several years ago was dirt poor. It's possible she was on the autism spectrum. Anyways, one day, someone gave her $20 to use towards groceries. Well, my best friend gave half of that money to a stranger on a public Medicaid van "because he looked so sad." When I heard about it, at first I was a little angry and upset thinking about how my friend would now be going without food that she desperately needed ... but thinking about it, it was a very noble, heroic, unselfish thing she did. Some of the poorest people can also be the most generous ... it's all about attitude.
Point 2:
Agree ... smaller, local charities are better than the big bureaucratic ones.
