re: #67 Belafon

No empathy. They 1) think they’ve actually worked hard, and 2) that everyone else is lazy for being poorer than them.

And don’t forget the widespread racism that remains in this country. They don’t want to help minorities because they are the “undeserving” poor. They are willing to let everyone suffer if it might help the “others”. It is amazing how many people who are personally not racist don’t see that racism persists.
