　　Currently, the widening gap between the rich and the poor is a social problem posing a threat to stability in many countries. As the 20% of the population accumulating 80% of the wealth globally, the rich is naturally supposed to take more social responsibility, like charity. In my mind, however, to do charity or to donate is a philanthropic act of personal choice but not anyone’s obligation. To require wealthy people to do more charity is in fact a kind of emotional blackmail.

　　Admittedly, affluent people have more money to donate. In contrast to the poor, they not only have more savings in bank accounts, but also enjoy higher living standards, like living in fancy houses, tasting delicious food and traveling worldwide in holidays. It seems the money they donate will not have much influence on their daily life but become a straw to clutch at for those in need. However, this argument only proves that wealthy people have the ability to help others but cannot justify that they have the obligation to do so. In fact, charity ought to be encouraged instead of being coerced.

　　On the one hand, all individuals’ property right is protected by the law, including that of rich people, if only the money is made through legal ways. For most people, the wealth they accumulate and social status they build is the endorsement of their capability and value. The professional knowledge and incomparable skills enable them to be competent in job market and request high incomes, the rewards of their contribution. They have full right to use and spend the money as they like. On the contrary, when donation becomes wealthy people’s duty, they actually lose the right to enjoy some rewards of their contribution, which is surely unfair. Consequently, such moral coercion to some extend discourages people’s ambition to earn more.

　　On the other hand, given the fact that wealthy people already have contributed more to society by paying more taxes compared to people with low income, there is no reason to morally hijack them to do more charity. The government levies different percentage of taxes on people’s incomes. The higher one’s salary is, the more taxes he pays. Take people in my city as an instance. The salary lower than 3500 yuan per month is not taxed. For the amount of salary higher than 3500 yuan, people pay 10% income tax, and for the amount of salary higher than 8000 yuan, people pay 20% income tax. Moreover, there are also other taxes imposed on the wealthy, such as property tax and heritage tax. In a word, while the rich make more money and enjoy higher living standard, they make more contribution to society, which also makes the compulsory donation from the rich unjustified.

　　To sum up, though wealthy people have more money to donate, it is morally incorrect to force them to donate more.
