A study showed that wealthy people show less compassion physiologically (heart rate, etc.) when showed pictures of poor people than people who aren’t wealthy who responded emotionally.
People who make less than $50,000 a year donate about 8% of their disposable income which is about twice what wealthy people (making $200,000+) donate.
In short, people who are not rich donate more and care more about low income people than rich people.
Obvs.
