Donating money to help people in need will solve nothing, my friend. Giving money to help people who deserve the money is a better idea, but the best solution really is not to give money away, period. Think about it. Say you earn about a thousand a day, but you only need about five hundred pesos to survive that day. What are you going to do? Donate the other half of your money to a half-wit beggar, *everyday*? Why then are you working for a thousand-a-day job? So you can donate 500 to a beggar? That's just an example, but looking at the picture, your way of thinking contradicts the set up you're in where capitalism reigns and people who give away for nothing and people who beg (and does nothing else) are left behind by those with the drive to work for money. You're not going to solve poverty by following your own suggestion. In fact, you'll just be worsening the problem as in the long-run and in the extreme, you're bound to get impoverished as well.

Poverty can be stopped depending on the attitude of the people towards it. If they are positive and dedicated to really stop such burden then it is easy to formulate programs designed to uplift the standard of living of the poor. With unity and cooperation these proposed programs will be easilly attained for its intended purpose.

wow, its really really impossible in today's world.. people are becoming greedy and politicians are too busy collecting money and no more time for their people whom they promise to serve and protect and help. They were given the opportunity to serve the people and yet they are the one who demolishes and sends them away from their homes for their own benefits.. money and power is what they need.. they dont care for others.
