My question is: why do the poor feel they have no duty to country (or to God) just because they are poor? As Americans, we should all feel a duty to serve others - no matter our income or level of education or opportunity.



I certainly understand the notion of service to one’s county - but in the context of this thread the Service to God ought to be left off the table. IMO

There are many who are very poor who feel a duty to their country. You by no means can make the statement that they collectively do not. If you are going to make collective statements “rich” would have been a better word, especially since we are talking about America’s Upper Class going AWOL.
