What I find depressing is how so many people seem to lack any ability to empathize with those less fortunate than themselves, but at the same time seem to have no trouble at all empathizing with the very wealthy, who, let's face it, don't need your empathy.

You get depressed that easily? Wow! I grew up poor and didn't need or want any empathy, I'm not rich by any means now but I don't care whether there are poor people now any more than I cared about them when I was one of them. So what has changed? Why should it change?

Remember without poor people you might actually be forced to work hard West.

One last question; Just how is empathizing with the poor going to help them? It isn't going to put food on their table. It won't send their poor kids to college. It won't feed them gourmet meals? So why?
