ral public that he failed to donate money for national charities, the wealthy and wise man
rationally responded, " I made all my achievements on my own, so I was endowed the right
to spend my money the way I wanted." Galloping improvement of living standards make people
financially undreamed. It is partly deemed that wealthy individuals are obliged to give t
heir money to charities because great power comes to great responsibility. Albeit seemingl
y plausible, I am convinced that there should be no such moral standard in our society tha
t the rich should make more donation than others.For one thing, one's bright future is hel
d in the palm of his or her own hand, which renders capable people their rights to allocat
e their properties out of external controls. Having a glimpse of the current social condit
ion, we can find that it is stepping into an increasingly competitive stages. Accompanying
this trend are more and more dilemmas and obstacles that challenge people on their ways t
o success. As a matter of fact, being successful is never an easy task, but involves the c
ombined effects of tremendous efforts and self-reliance. Under no circumstances should peo
ple be forced give up their own fruits of diligence and intelligence when confronted with
so-called responsibility of donating. In our colorful history, many collapses of governmen
t owed much to citizen's lack of ability to control their own properties. There is not a b
etter manifestation than my country. Chinese government once advocated the vast acceptance
of general social equality) in which all people should be wealthy equally and force wealt
hy people to take money from their wallets. Therefore, hard-working people were not endowe
d the basic right over their necessary returns, which considerably discouraged producers a
nd managers. When disappointed people refused to work anymore, China was confronted with o
ne of the greatest economic recession in history. Consequently, the ability to spend money
as people's will should be guaranteed.On top of that, earning money is a process that is
equal to contributing to the society, therefore no more obligation should be given to weal
thy people. Well-known is the truth that money is the tool of exchanging values in market.
For those who accumulate a huge number of money, they produce far more values compared to
others, contributing extensively to the world. For instance, Bill Gates invoked unprecede
nted innovations on computer programming; Jack Ma brought a successful revolution to Chine
se market; Ellon Max advanced aerospace industry of humans with great leaps and bounds. Al
l of these examples tell us one thing: earning money is never the purpose but the process
along with making contributions to the world for those elites. Besides, as our society has
witnessed great boom concerned with economics, mature taxation systems are being implemen
ted around the world, which ensures the social fairness. According to the survey conducted
by Chinese Social Science Journal, people with income of over one million dollars are pay
ing fifty percent for taxation from their income. Those money flow into other public const
ruction under the control of government, including charity as well. Therefore, what else c
an we want from people with great contributions?Judging from all the evidence offered, we
can safely arrive at the conclusion that wealthy people are never ought to be required mor
e financial support to charity due to the reason that they are given the priority to take
control of their money and contributions have already be made by them.
