Oprah Winfrey Says Maintaining OWN Network Is Harder Than She Thought: Should She Retire?

OK, so let me see if I understand. Because you say she is a billionaire, that means that she doesn't have a responsiblity to organize other people to help as many charities as possible. You think that she should only use her money to fund every needy group in the world. Where is the common sense to that kind of thought process. She earned her money, it wasn't given to her. And along the way she has been overly generous with her fortune, but she still has the RIGHT to the money she earned and it is none of your business what she or other wealthy people have. As long as she uses her influence to get dontations for other charities and doesn't keep any of the money, your comments are quite silly. The only true fund raisers in this country who are successful are those who have the ability to move the masses, that she has done over and over and has helped thousands of needy people. She has no obligation to give her money away to every organization with their hands out. Over the years, she has given millions of her money away on her shows, are you saying that the millions she has donated is not enough?? How much of your wealth are you willing to give away, don't you think you're entitled to keep whatever you have earned through hard work? This kind of logic makes no sense.

And where do you get off saying that the work in Africa has not made much of a difference? You obviously are not well read. She has given thousands, not hundreds, of young women a chance to make a major difference in a country that denogrates women and allows millions of people to die because of ignorance about disease and cleanliness. These young women will pay it forward as they become better educated and they will go on to help their fellow countrymen become more civilized. Perhaps you would prefer to allow other human beings, many helpless children, to continue to die??? It's not a case of "well I didn't cause that", it's a case of humanity for others. Do you close your eyes to issues that cause our children to die here in America. I seriously doubt that but if you are any kind of reasonable human being, you would support and allow any person that is trying to make this planet a better place.

As far as the needs in North American, Oprah has donated millions, this MILLIONS to many organizations here in America. Again, you must not be very well read or you would understand. I hope your motive is not racist. There are millions of dollars spent in the country every day helping people, some of it is from the taxes you pay, in the form of grants, but throwing more and more money at every single possible program will never stop the needs of our American brothers and sisters. She is under no obligation to solve the ills of the U.S. but she shore makes a noticable dent in helping.

Your comments, even though they are your two cents, need some serious thought.
