The Irony of Wealth

I wonder why 2nd hand clothes stores like the Salvos and Good Sammy's always have the weirdest, most out-of-date clothes. Wouldn't those who have the most clothes to give away, the richest people, have the most up-to-date fashions?

Instead, these fundraiser stores end up with dorky hawaiian print shorts (haha, I have a vendetta against these!) and 50 year old granny tops.

I guess it boils down to a researched fact that in our pretty affluent society, those with the greatest capacity to give are the ones that give away the least.

But that's a generalisation, and it's those who flout this rule that sustain our hope in humanity.
