it seems you do understand however that excess in the face of poverty is inherently immoral

It's more that I think you can find a good balance between charity and selfishness and it's not worth feeling guilty about. Don't deny yourself the enjoyments of life that we literally slave for just to do something that makes such a small impact.

I think extreme excess in the face of poverty is immoral. Like people that collect extremely expensive, basically useless cars AND maintain them. Just being rich, though, no I don't think that makes somebody immoral. Neither do I find it immoral to indulge in yourself with things that bring a lot of enjoyment.

So tell me elph, how much of an American homeless persons money should be donated to charity? Even our homeless live like kings based on OHs picture comparison.

Just trying to figure out where you draw the financial line on being free of moral responsibility for others suffering

America’s homeless die from lack of basic necessities everyday

Death = Death in Sudan California or Florida

After food, shelter, and medical expenses

You don't consider mental well being in there? Cause that **** costs money, and I'm not talking about doctor treatment, I mean something as simple as a book (or hobby) that provides the every day kind of mental stimulation to keep us sane.
