Rich, meet poor

Where are all the billionaire businessmen when you need them? They are quick to donate art, flags and self-portraits, but soap and water, not so much.

Miami’s homeless population needs help now, and it benefits the billionaires equally for them to step up to the plate and give a hand to those much less fortunate. On my modest income, I manage to give 10 percent to charity.

How about you Messrs. Perez, Braman, Arison, Fernandez, Luria, Icahn, Johnson, Trump, Frost, Miller, et al.? Reach out.
