Poverty can not be helped with one person's money. If everyone was rich, no one would work. Causing jobs to be left and all the necessary jobs would have no one.

You're assuming wealth is a zero-sum game, which is fundamentally flawed. Billionaires often create massive industries and innovations that uplift millions, generating far more opportunities than they consume. Isn't it more immoral to stifle the very mechanisms that *could* alleviate poverty through economic growth and innovation?
