i see what you're saying but same argument could be made all the time....what if all the companies that pay 1.5 million for 30 seconds during the superbowl gave that money to chairty rather than 1 commercial how much it would help, or the money oprah spent to fly 250 people to australia for a week and house them, etc....
I agree there are those that need it, but EVERYONE spends money foolishly on some scale..

And if they do give, they want everybody to know about it. Somehow I don't see a Donald Trump giving an anonymous donation to anybody. He's going to make sure the whole world knows what a good guy he is. I think all of us mere mortals would be shocked with how much money rich people blow. Not just on things like extravagant weddings, but in their day to day lives. I've got one rich friend that I've known since highschool. When I see how much this guy spends without even thinking about it, it blows my mind. That's why I have no compassion for him when it comes to having to pay his taxes every year.
honestly, if this wedding is the thing that makes you think of this, it's too late. the ridiculousness of how wealth is appropriated is by far the largest black eye on the modern/industrialized world. there's absolutely no reason anyone should go without food or shelter, and the fact that our leaders, who conveniently are used as examples for the idea of "success", have no excuse for not promoting or envisioning ways to allow everyone the basic right to live. it's a disgrace - and i only wish I had taken a path that allowed me to give more.
there are some good, and rich, folks out there: http://gizmodo.com/#!5604368/bill-gates-convinces-40-billionaires-to-give-away-half-their-fortunes
The Royals have been giving to charities for centuries:

Part of the problem giving to the needy is actually getting the money there. Many, many charities have outrageous "administrative" costs.

"appropriated" ??????????????????? what the hell are you talking about. You complain about people that have more than you and even funnier is you posting this on a GAMBLING website....makes you look foolish.
If you took all your gambling money from the last 4 years and invested that in GOLD you would have made over 150% on that money.
typical envious lazy ass that complains about someone that has more than you do. Can't even make this up its so funny
Money is earned and wealth is accumulated over time with wise investments. Try it sometime.
They're making money because people don't take public transport, they drive everywhere, they don't live in the city and they buy SUV's.
I don't begrudge the oil companies for making money ... I hope they make a shitload of money ... if someone is stupid enough buy SUV's and minivans, they need to pay.
Same goes for Apple. If someone wants to buy a new iPhone and iPad every year ... that's fine ... just don't cry about Apple making $6 billion this year.
The problem with this world?
There are too many f'in people and we are living too long. Not everyone can have food, shelter, healthcare, clothing, etc. There just aren't enough resources for all the people we have in this world. I think we all do the best we can to provide these things for every living person, but there are too many people.
What should be done? People need to carry their weight. You need to work and support yourself. You shouldn't be popping out a hundred kids if you cannot support them. Start taking some responsibility for your actions! There always needs to be a safety net for those that are at the poverty level and those who are disabled but everyone needs to do their part (I.e. If you are poor, concentrate on getting any job you can and don't have any kids until you can support them).
