They already DO empathize with the poor and downtrodden. A recent Indiana University study shows that 98.4% of high-net-worth households donated to charity in 2013, as compared to the 65.4% of the whole population that gave. And it's not just money - 32% of respondents volunteered their time by working with two charitable organizations, and an additional 23% volunteered with three. That's in addition to paying the majority of income taxes in this country, propping up the welfare state with the tax revenues they generate.

The average wealthy Americans are an easy target that statists use to keep people divided and distracted from how the über-elites at the Fed and their banker cronies actually promote inequality by inflating our currency with fiat money. It doesn't help matters that monetary policy is difficult for the layman voter to comprehend, but class resentment and jealousy are universally understood.

Charity is not the same thing as empathy. Also, how many of those giving helped poor and working class white folk?

Charity is not the same thing as empathy.

Studies suggest that the two are linked.
