Let's reformulate the question: "Do (capable) people have an obligation to help other people (which are maybe less capable or just capable in other ways)?" You don't have to answer that. On a smaller social scale we all have been helped, merely by the fact that we had living conditions, like having warmth and not having each of us to reinvent the fire for that, or benefiting from security for not having to fear all the time for our survival in a hostile environment, and so and so on. Your question won't occur any more wen we'll extend a little bit what we consider "we" to include the entire human race. We're all humans, right? P.S.: I'm not assigning blame.
