Do the wealthy have an unspoken obligation to give back to the community through acts of charity?

Asked by The_Compassionate_Heretic (14634points) July 17th, 2009

Successful business people, celebrities, high paid athletes, and other people most consider “wealthy”, life lives of extravagance that most people will never know while others live in abject poverty.
Is there a social expectation for those at the top of the pyramid to contribute beyond paying their normal taxes?
