Passive participants in the economy may be full of good intentions but do little to help others. They rarely have the resources to do much more than care for themselves.
Those who achieve wealth or position in our society provide for most of the philanthropic work that gets done. That is the way it ought to be. Our lives have little meaning if we live only to serve ourselves.
Most capitalists believe in freedom, including the freedom of socialists to contribute less than they could.

Reminds me of the parable of the rich man making a big deal when he gives a big coin and the poor woman humbly giving all she has.
I think you will find that the poor sacrifice more for others than the rich any day.
