I really don't know how you can say that. Most of the time, the poor didn't choose to be poor, it was cir***stances that were out of their control. Whatever the case, they have to be helped. You can't ask whether they "deserve" help, they need it. I understand that you're disappointed with having less money than you might be making, and other families might have it the same way, but you're still much better off than the poor. You can sacrifice some of what you've learned to help the ones who need it more.
Sorry to go kind of preachy there :P
