(not to mention most charities going bankrupt the moment it wouldn't be tax-deductable)
The society that prefers to have their coworker(s) fired instead of collectively taking a lower paycheck?
The society that let's their children be brought up by strangers because their to busy getting ahead in life
Oh THAT modern society?

Hm, modern society, let's see what modern society has accomplished:
1) Created the internet and has connected billions of people around the world
2) Encouraged and enabled international trade, allowing goods and foods to be available during any season
3) Allowed space flight and the creation of the international space station
4) Made advances in food production resulting in an evolution of wheat and grain production
5) Developed technologies that increase individual productive capacity many-fold through machines and mass production
6) ..Next stage technology allowing mass production level quality and cost on a customized basis (ie. 3D printers, etc)
7) A society that has allowed individuals to rise beyond their station and status from birth, that they wouldn't be allowed in ancient hierarchical societies
8) Incredible medical advances that have eliminated numerous fatal diseases and increased life expectancy
Oh wait, we're talking about the same one..
