You will find that most lefties who proclaim to "care" about the poor do not earn very much and therefore pay little in tax (not sure that's actually true) if they genuinely cared they would go out and start a business, make millions and hand it over. The people who actually do these things are the rich 99% of who are right wing.
Most of those who we call champagne socialists ARE trying to become rich, just like everyone else. Getting rich is not easy - most right-wing people are not rich and never will be either, even if they aspire to it.
And the premise that the only way to help people is to get rich and use the money is also ridiculous. You've said previously that just giving money to poor people doesn't help them. The lefties I know - in both public and private sector jobs - give up their time. Not only for practical things like this (Handcrafted - Durham, UK) but support and friendship which are also pretty darn important.
