ok.
But actually I think there is a true core behind this argument. If you have much its easier to give, isnt it? If a multibillionair buys you a burger because you look hungry, it will be considered to be a nice act, but if a beddlar gets all his money together to do so, it will be considered considerably more generous.
That was an extreme example, but it shows the direction.
