1 - how does my wealth .. or any one else's .. affect you ??
2 - I personally DO give a lot to the needy .. money and time.
3 - you're missing the point . . if not for the rich, there would be no help for the poor . . . THAT is why the USA (the richest nation) has the richest poor!
"We Americans" share more than any other nation.
"inequality" does not equal "unfair".
Here are some facts for you from a left-wing paper: economist.com
Do you see how much better the poor in the USA have it than the rich in Italy or Brazil or . . . .
AND .. you see that every country has a gap . . would you rather live in Mexico which has the least inequality ?!!?
It's so much better to understand the big picture than to just rant talking-points that you see on TV or your favorite left-wing blog.
think and live for yourself . . that is how you can help others the best ... by understanding.

and the US is near the top in purchasing power for the poorest, that tells me a lot more than the ranking in inequality.

You seem to prefer the situation in many other countries were the poor are poorer but but the rich are much poorer. So I guess for you its all about pulling down the rich.
