I don't have the means right now to do so, and if I did I am not sure of what I would do, at least in regards to poverty. Honestly, poverty is a very complex issue that can not be solved by throwing money at it, it is a product of societal ills that allow vast poverty to occur. I do not have the answers to fix those either, let alone the means.
I can spot the issues though, as many can. Unfortunately I am unable to speak of anything I do contribute, so yes I am being hypocritical to some degree, but it is good to have a persistent and annoying voice shouting at people.
Honestly though, if I did have the money I'd find the best way to invest it in infrastructure, even though that is a job best left to the state. I'd probably also spend my money on initiatives to reform tax law, so we create a country where corporations and wealthy people that exist here contribute back more than their fair share of money.
Individuals alone though sadly have little power, you need coalitions and popular ideas with the backing of masses. Unfortunately in this country it is probably too late, no, strike that, was never possible, to form a country based on civil decency, care for the impoverished, or securing a stable future based on education, initiative and cooperation rather than war and fear. |
