Have the rich and powerful lost their altruistic instincts?

Have the rich and powerful lost their altruistic instincts?

Humans are the most altruistic and good of all the animal species, yet at present, our rich and powerful allow the poorest of us to starve to death by hoarding their wealth. This is unheard of in the animal world.

9 out of 10 Americans are completely wrong about this mind-blowing fact.

Generally speaking, in ancient days the rich and powerful insured that the poor were taken care of to the best of their ability. In the past, the rank and file demanded that the rich and powerful live up to that good altruistic trait by revolting against them. The French Revolution is a good example of this. Have the rank and file lost their altruistic and good characters by allowing the rich and powerful to let people starve to death while doing nothing?

Are the notions of liberty, equality, and fraternity dead in the world?

Is mankind at the point of losing the altruistic instincts that has made us the greatest animal that the world has ever produced?

It was not there to lose in the first place. In the past the 'rich and powerful" took care of the peasants to keep them from forming a mob and taking over, not out of some need to do good.

BS! You know the wrong people or your attitude is wrong. The rich give billions to charity.

That is irrelevant to the link I put into the O.P. because as is easily seen, they hoard a lot more than they give for those great tax breaks.

We have a situation where almost half of all Americans pay nothing in taxes, and the other half pays taxes to support people who don't work. What more do you want?

A level playing field so there are less poor which we need to support.

That can never happen. Poverty is relative.

I wasn’t responding to the link i was responding to the poster. Your link is a very biased site.

The rich give billions every year to charity and pay billions a year in taxes. It is their money to do with what they choose to do. Most are generous, however some people believe the rich will never give enough, it has been that way for centuries.
