just having a thought.my country has a few hundreds of millionaires and billionaires and also half of the population struggling to make their living for a day.would it relieve the problem a bit if a part of their income is distributed among these needy ones to provide shelter and food to them? am i sounding like a socialistic?....well then just let me know ,if ever you can give shelter to anyone needy and poor.

I would love to do so, if i had my own house more of no i wont because i have my parents are there who would not let me do so. This world is filled with lots of poor people who have to burden very hard problems to earn a piece of bread or food .In this modern world people all are not equal as some are rich and some poor. My views are different i would provide enough help for the needy as i could which will become good deeds and provide me good in front of good.

I have an office mate who is originally from Venezuela. She told me that their president, Hugo Chavez, has declared that all people who are considerably wealthy, and have a big house, should make one room available for poor people. They should ask them to live with wealthier folks. My officemate thinks this is Chavez' way of endearing himself to the masses. So he can rule the country longer. I don't like that Venezuela is using this as a tool for political reasons, but if it were done correctly, I would have thought that this is an admirable idea.

thats a completely new information at hand.even if he is faking the things but in some way its benefitting others. yes,it would have been more commendable, if secondary gains were not involved as you said.thanks a lot for your response.
