DO LDS ROB THE POOR?

2nd Nephi 28:13

13 They rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries; they rob the poor because of their fine clothing; and they persecute the meek and the poor in heart, because in their pride they are puffed up.

Do I even feel anything for the poor?  What does that say about me?  Do I think more about acquiring "stuff" (my own sanctuary) or in serving the poor?  Is my "fast offerings" each month enough to check the poor off the list or will I be accountable for how I allocate my other resources?  Is the above scripture aimed at Latter Day Saints - or just the other Christians?
