I'm pretty sure you've heard about Forbes richest list and all it's variations(richest women, young billionares, richest celebrity, and bla, bla, bla), I've never had the chance -or the intention- to read any of those lists because I don't give a F%@K about them, but since January 12th, I've been trying to know who are included in those lists.
As the whole world knows on January 12th, a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti, destroying the capital city of Port Au Prince and other cities and causing an estimated 100K+ dead. The images of the aftermath of the quake are disturbing: dead bodies all over the streets, there are not hospitals to treat the wounded, there's no equipment to rescue those who may be trapped in the rubble, no public services and those who survived are wandering in the streets without food, water or a place to sleep. Help has been arriving from different countries, the Dominican Republic, which whom Haiti shares the Hispaniola island, has sent food, water and other supplies, rescue crews have arrived from US, Venezuela and Spain, medical crews have arrived from Cuba, Israel and France.
After watching all this, I remembered the Forbes richest list and I thought that maybe those included in the list would be amongst those who have, at least, made declarations about this tragedy, that maybe they've decided to give a little of their fortunes to aid the Haitian people, but to my "surprise" none of them have said or done S#%T about the matter. In this moment when they should help they just turn their backs, the people in these lists simply do not care, they're too busy taking care of their business, trying to sale their software, cell phones, furniture and oil to countries which could be struck by an earthquake in the future, and to whom they will not give anything back!!!.
That's why rich people don't go to heaven, and that's why I don't give a damn about the Forbes or any other list of the richest people in the world.
