So, tell us what you have done lately to help others...
Sorry, not interested in rehashing for the likes of you.
If you are curious, you can just search. If not interesting enough for you to do so, then just hush.
He helps homeless people get ready for job interviews instead of using his millions to give them jobs himself.
This is what is wrong with you. You think it gives a man more dignity to receive a cash handout than to earn a living.

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.
They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.
I am glad you have found God and are now feeding the poor. Maybe I will see you next time at the shelter helping out.
But, I assume your Google search failed you again. We are to take care of those who are unable to take care of themselves. However, those who can work should work. Next time, try reading 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18.
6 But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us. 7 For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline among you, 8 and we did not eat anyone's food without paying. Instead, in toil and drudgery we worked night and day in order not to burden any of you. 9 It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: "
If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat." 11 For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others. 12 Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat. 13 But you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary in doing what is right. 14 But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note of him and do not associate closely with him, so that he may be ashamed.
