    Why SHOULD they?  No one owes the poor anything.   Many people are poor because of unintelligent life choices.   There is a saying play stupid games, win stupid prizes.  The poor oftentimes are passive regarding their life.  They complain yet refuse to do anything to improve their lives.  They want OTHERS to always rescue them.  One can say that the poor are LAZY.………….emotionally, mentally, & psychologically lazy.   If such weren't the case, the poor would find ways to better themselves.  The poor believe that they can have their cake & eat it too.

    Poor people indoctrinate themselves & their children that things are hopeless.  They don't teach their children to better themselves.  They teach their children to settle as they have.  However, they want to live that good life though but they are loathe to improve themselves by strategizing & making intelligent life choice decisions.  Oh no, that is beyond their mental scope.  Instead, they want, even DEMAND that wealthier people give them a more comfortable lifestyle. 

    The poor have a habit of wanting others to foot their bill.   The poor figure that they should do exactly as & act as they want w/o considering the consequences of their mindless actions.  The poor want what the other classes have but the other classes PAY for their services.   The poor refuse to realize that if they want something- they have to get educated, have a decent job or career, & PAY for such services.  The poor want freebies & thus have become a parasitic class.  Poor people don't want to improve themselves one iota- they would rather complain & want others to CARRY them!  People are becoming sick of the poor as they are DRAINS to society!

    It seems that it is the poor who care about other poor people and just everyone else, but it definitely isn't the rich. The poor try to help even when they barely have anything. Several personal experiences have confirmed this.

    Do the poor care about the poor? Do employers care about their employees? Do ministers/priests care about the individuals in their congregations? Do the rich care about the rich? Do the rich care about the poor.

    Do families care about their family members and pets?

          If they did, the burden would not be on strangers, such as "the rich."

            Since money has the least to do about happiness. Rich vs poor family members often still clash.

            Happiness is most about what an individual can produce like health and what you can forget or Solving problems. Your family gene pool has a close second factor importance toward your happiness.

                Its not Hate’ it's wealthy Disrespect for the poor and vise versa. The wealthy would be like our predators. When we allow them to treat us like livestock, we deserve what we get.

                GM would not like this idea of the wealthy unfairness. A Heirachary empire systems has been our worst enemy since 5000 BC. Yet, not so bad for me, as a small fish I learn how to swim with the sharks, so sad for many others.

                1. Poor people tend not to manage money well. I personally do well, too many others are busy surviving.
                2. Wealthy people loan from other "third parties", not family because they value family too much to fight over money.  Sadly, they don’t always engender this spirit in their children.
                3 The Poor. Earned rather than misappropriated, and rather engaged as parents. a sense of purpose. The rich rather over-invest in private schools,  facilities and aspirational networks. Yet even a crocodile loves their young.
                4. Poor people think the rules are bent for the sake of politicians; and they serve whoever serves them, not a healthy share.  We live in nations of ‘vying victims’.
                5.Poor people tend not to learn lessons, nor teach them. The child keeps making mistakes. I perfer middle class, being just right.
                6 Poor people want to belong to communities; wealthy people want to differentiate themselves. They want successful lives through wealth creation process, not on sameness or ‘equality’ but its absence. 

                The wealthy have issues.
                Lack of empathy for others. They think materially or anti intellectually like the poor; just they are more engaging about money. Where money in reality is only 1/5 equality part in life.
                2 They fail to see the value of the mind as a source of efficacy beyond making money. They remain compartmentalised, which only serves as a source of repression and dissociation.
                3.The wealthy have high standards, so they think. They are mindlessly materialistic or traditional, being asthey are, solely related to either.
                Making money or saving for it; The wealthy diminish the importance of that generosity on their lives. It unfortunately makes them less generous. That’s the dissociation speaking

    And this debate between the classes in capitalism has been goin in since the beginning of time itself  Castle .  In one form or another people have traded baskets for bananas from then on . Who really is the "richer " man though  ?  Me ? A retiring carpenter who worked for rich people  and earned a living for fifty-five  years ? Or the rich who have to learn how to trust us poor so that no one will steal them blind ?

    I'm not so sure I didn't end up the better for it .

      I have had a lot fame and money for a good 3 decades. It''s really over rated and having a happier balance now.

      You probably got the better deal, more joys rather than toys. Being onesided or obsessed over anything is limited. If life is not a little messy, your not living it.
