    Because being rich and being humanitarian usually doesn't mix. People that want to save the world usually don't make billions.

    wealth is to competitive obsession what psychotic is to leadership and similar over achievements spurred by a drive for wealth a person with more rounded interests can't have for the stuff.
    A psychotic who knows it's a trait can manage the badness while freeing the rest to advantage and make decisions affecting others with learned care but the detachment that allows them to sleep when others with empathy toss and turn with the morality of their choice
    The wealthy feel their superior nature has allowed them to win evidenced by their account "Score" and you don't give away your winning score points to inferiors you've beaten who are stupid and beneath you as your wealth shows
    Cash is a cold comfort with nothing to give and value only in belief that this paper is somehow real but monopoly paper is play
    Just a belief and no more real than a game.... all dollars could disappear and the Earth would continue reality without a indication of our raindeer game has ended
    Politics, religion, law.... games we act like are important
    The tokins used as currency should expire every decade or so to reset the hording and similar from these types give 'em a meddle to show their win and that's it new game guys
    And poverty is the condition that allows something like the u.s. excess of lifestyle that the world can not have.
    We've kept Mexico down with invasion and revolution since the mid 1800's for just such a reason Canada escaping such as commonwealth member of our financial masters as evidenced by the treaty of Paris that don't look like the terms of a winner followed by 1812 and the civil payback for our uncivil invasion of Canada where our destruction included civilian structures and looting resulting in a little lesson in such disregards of the rules of war with the burning of the White House before the modern concept of murdering civilians as "total war" with the term war implying murder of the unarmed is somehow a part of the war tradition that never allowed murder or rape of civilians as a soldiers job but rather as crimes but while we attribute our production advantages to leaders like patton who lost more men in the bulge than douglas I'm a god and orders are beneath me mactrafder lost establishing beach heads (horrible casuality task) durring the whole war and Lee was a great commander but not for America.... and everything else was cruddy tanks that killed more crew with the fires after being hit than shells but exceeded enemy rounds in number or 11 bullet stopper infantry Government Issue (GI) speak for the tactics of there's more of us than them so march straight at them instead of preserving lives or other indications of command we ignore due to numbers and production
    Any general who goes rogue like that... I'd of had him killed for it as that military coup step one and can not be allowed
    His bonus army attack on the occupy movement of the day was also a bad note on a good career but lost my respect for the pompous big head b

    well not everybody cares like you.... :( some people just waste money on themselves
    or maybe they are skeptic about how the money is being used

    I think billionaires and millionares would be of great help if they got involved
    but as for countries.... they should all resolve their own problems going on at home before getting involved in other countries

    RIGHT! A wealthy foundation... I think it was a Rockerfella thing, own nothing control everything Those foundations are often used to dictate the course of research and projects the wealthy want to see and the charity tag hides such manipulation behind supposed altruistic help like the koch take over of higher ed accross the country with strings to support their pollution and deny climate effects in return for such funds It's charity supporting overpriced supposed education at the expense of academics and factual discourse to allow business to save money on cleaner methods that are good for us all but apparently the koch profits are more important than responsible stewardship Wealth is rarely obtained through hard work and fair practice but rather built on cheating and illegal activities like JFK's pop whos bootlegging was drug running from Mexico or the Last Don where the family goes legit using mob money to open an international bank or so on and so on with no connection to any thing worth respect Born with it is hardly earned But people rarely respect the things they tout most

But ok ... those were all like business ventures that WHO, UNICEF and the United Nations carry out as a part of their financial invasion program in poverty driven countries
