Yep. There are people who DO believe and do enact this level of caring, and as a whole our social systems don't. Trickle down economics is as close as I've seen in my short life to all sides being "for", and that's horrifically insignificant.. justifying to oneself they do in fact care, and they don't need to do anything beyond make money while being in the USA. Close to our overt slavery economy, of hundreds of years ago, IMO.
