If the rich saw how the poor live in America, there would be more compassion. If the poor saw how the rich live in America, there would be more rage.

The rich take pleasure in our suffering.

Many of the poor people I know live a “richer” life than the rich people. And complain less too. You know you can always give your money away, you are rich after all.

When the rich experience first hand, what it is to be poor, only then will they approach compassion.

You are wrong, only selfish people are easy to become rich, so rich people generally have no compassion. The military-industrial complex in the US is a private enterprise for the purpose of profit, and the profit model is war. Without war, it will go bankrupt. That's all.
2021 US fiscal deficit $2.7 trillion, and national debt $30 trillion. How much of the debt has legally flowed into private pockets through war? Standing on the high of democracy, impress countless fools. It's the best killing system for human beings, closest place to heaven?

Both sides struggle from the same cultural disfunction. Both sides worry they will loose what they have to the other. Biggest problem the poor suffer 5 times more often than the wealthy.

Unfortunately the rich tell themselves that poverty is all about bad choices.

The rich know exactly how the poor live. They don’t care because their wealth depends on others poverty. Some do care. Like you for example. But for those others it’s not a question of knowing, it’s a question of willful ignorance.
