IDK - ed commented on at your spot about the 'foolishness' of tithing. I give away way more than ten percent but if I found a good church I'd do the ten and save myself some money.
Well those millionaires know when they give a certain end will come about. While those who drop it in the bucket hope something good will happen.
I really think that's the difference that inspires most to give. That's why I'd rather give money directly to the bums as the services given to a organization usually disappears into some administration function that I surely don't care about.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

There's more that understand but they surely don't have the money to give away.

You can't take it with you, that's for sure.
