‘Everybody should donate a fixed amount of their income to support charity.’ How far do you share this viewpoint?

Some argue that it is necessary for people to donate a certain amount of
money
they earn to support
charity
. It seems to me that giving
money
to those in need is not the prime way to help them and I will explain why in
this
essay.
Firstly
,
charities
often target symptoms, not causes. It might be true that
charity
helps the recipient with their problem;
however
, it does not do much to deal with the causes of the problem.
For instance
, there is a shocking fact that some children are being trafficked away from their parents with promises of education to fake orphanages, where managers fundraise
money
to earn a profit. A second negative factor is that
charities
are more likely to exacerbate poverty. By

tends to make its receivers more indolent since they are provided for what they need without any hard work. Some even prefer

on their own.
Finally
, the government is still spending a fixed amount of our taxes on
charity
at some point.
Therefore
, we do not have to worry about
charities
and just need to pay tariffs as usual for the sake of our society. It is true that there are some positives to
charity
, most notably the pleasure of helping others.
Although
,
charity
may not provide the solution to issues
such
as poverty and unemployment. In conclusion,
charities
are often a short-term fix and

Furthermore
, the government usually takes

. So giving

to support
charities
is not an adequate option sometimes. In spite of that, we can offer our time and talent to
charity
.
