I don't think its about trouble understanding but rather that most rich people don't care about poor people. Is that a bold statement? Not so sure, because it seems to me that also a majority of poor people don't care about other poor people. We live in rather unempathetic society were unemployed are never considered to be depressed or having an alternative take on the merit of work but instead are seen as lazy or dumb. Where fat or ugly people are considered a cosmetic liability rather than a natural part of the community. We are a bunch of egotistic, self-obsessed maniacs. And yes, there are excpetions among rich as well as among the poor. But they are few and most think of them as weak or suffering from helper syndrome rather than being blessed with altruistic and empathetic abilities.
