you are right, you never said that, didn't mean to direct it at you... but the vibe in this thread is that it somehow makes a difference when deciding moral issues whether the other party is rich or poor... so I threw in that analogy as a general comment, not necessarily directed at you...
I'm not sure I agree with you about the homeless guy though... I would understand it too and it makes sense, but I wouldn't say that it's "right" for him to do that...
