People Are Hungry Out There

It was reported by Forbes that Oprah made an estimated $260 million last year.

Let me rephrase that....

$260 million a year

That's just one TV personality. I just have one question: Why are people going without when there are people making a quarter of a billion dollars a year?

Why are there children going hungry?

I think Oprah sets a great example of charity work. The whole system is off balanced, but in a way you could say she earned it. She worked from nothing to build her fame. I'm sure she could spare more, but where do you draw the line? Oh, but just know there will be some thankful charities when she dies.

I agree that many celebrities contribute to charities and I must also point out that they didn't account for taxes, security, etc.

However if you add up all the Hiltons, the Bill Gates, and so on...

Well, there ought to be a lot less people starving out there :-D
