You obviously aren't poor if you asked these questions. We had an old man who used to raid recycling bins to collect cans including ours as my partner is an avid beer drinker lol. So I started putting them in a big bag and placing it next to our bin for him. A few months later he knocked on our door, and said thanks for putting the bags out for him and handed me $5. He said this is your cut, we have to share the wealth. This man was poor, but to do that...stand up and take a bow Sir!

Steven, do you watch the news, read books, watch politics, have any general idea what is going on in the world? If you did you would not ask these questions. All you have to do is google (god forbid) to look up Bill Gates and his elite to know the answers to your questions.
