      Because in our society “poor people” is a category that continues to grow, and consists of basically anyone without a Scrooge mcduck-level swimming pool of money.

      You’d probably be surprised which category you fall into these days.

          When they’re being exploited for their labor, absolutely.

          We break our backs to make our bosses a buck and are trapped in a system that prevents us from revolting because 2/3 of us are about 3 paychecks away from starving or going homeless

      Ok, I’m interested to see where this goes.

      Leftists may defend poor people because they sense a moral obligation.

      Wow. I’m stunned by your comment.

      To rephrase it “Why should anyone care about anyone else?”

            Because poor people are people, caring about other people is empathy, and people without empathy are psychopaths.

            Is that enough of an answer to you, or do you have other Dark Triad traits you’d like to self-report?
