  1. No.

    They worked for it, went to school for, and earned.

    (However I do believe in charity, but I do not believe it should  be forced on anyone)

    Just look at the Obama's...   They have given almost nothing to charity, yet he thinks the rest of us should be forced to.


  2. All people have a duty to help one another. However, it is not for anyone but the individual to decide where and how and how much he or she will contribute to that help! It is most especially not the governments function to force them to do it!

  3. If there is morality, then yes they do have some duty. If there isn't, then they don't have to but one day they may become victims of hungry wild people.

  4. Moral obligation; but not a civil law.

  5. They should be taxed and pay by law

  6. When you call it a "Duty" you make it sound like a freakin Union Due or a punishment.

    They don't have a "duty" to help the poor but the way I see it is that the people that are in the higher pay check area shouldn't b**** about a few extra dollars being taken out of there fun money so that the poor kids have less taxes to pay and a better chance at making the rent payment on time.

    Oh so what if they can't take 3 vacations in the privet jet this year and their hopes of buying a new Hummer to replace last years model and paying for the full gas tank are smashed to bits......Little Timmy with dreams of becoming a heart doctor are now a possiblity because they PITCHED IN THEIR FAIR SHARE!!!

    Just imagine how fast the Social Security Problem could be solved if you took just a wee bit more from the Trumps, Operas, and Bill Gates of this country.

  7. Yes to some degree...

  8. The rich are that way on the backs of the poor

    Not a duty, a right of the poor

  9. not a duty. but everyone should help out

  10. The rich have the responsibility to pay their fair share of taxes

  11. to damned bad i was not born with a silver spoon up my keister   .but yes i think that they should

  12. no way..

  13. no...of course not
