Empathy is a good thing. How liberals deal with it is another.
Don't get confused with personal or individual empathy, which, of course is a good thing, and "government empathy."
Communism and Marxism are founded on such confusion and such empathy and that's how these Leftists have made inroads here. We don't need nor want government's "empathy" or "help." As Reagan once said, "The scariest words in the English language are, 'Hi , I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" Over the centuries, thousands upon millions of dead bodies have accumulated as a result of believing those words.
Empathy: the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings,
thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and
experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.
Yup.
Don't see anything in there about redistributing ones hard earned income to others.
Thou shalt not steal.
