I agree, the poor are more generous and good hearted.
I worked as a therapist in various settings over the course of a 40 year career.
Early on, I worked in poor areas in rough neighborhoods. Later on I worked in
more affluent areas.
The poor clients were more kind and generous. Sometimes my car would not start,
I was just a new therapist paying off school loans and getting started. The clients
would always rush to help me. And at the holidays they would bring me a small

but inexpensive heartfelt homemade gifts cannot be turned away.
I cannot say the affluent people would do the same.
