That's so simple a truck driver could figure it out. Though there are so many reasons individual people do the things they do and usually it's a combo of many things. The simple, general reasons are that tossing the poor enough bones once in a while keeps them happy enough not to organize, rise up, and revolt. The other reason is that most people in my eyes like to help other people, either to make themselves feel better or simply to help. Also, helping raise the poor enough creates new markets for business, creating more money for the rich. Three general ideas, usually it's a combo of all of those I would say.

I'm no professor though.
