Celebrity Compassion

It is always curious to me whenever I see or hear a celebrity or public figure scold the public over it's perceived lack of compassion. Why are celebrities incapable of seeing the irony in their attending "charity" events or awards show wearing gowns and suits, and sporting jewelry that could feed and house several struggling families for a year while declaiming some injustice or another? How many of them are willing to help out at a soup kitchen or clean up a blighted neighborhood other than as a publicity event; after which they are whisked away by their drivers to their posh mansions? How many are willing to support a cause other than by simply writing a check? How many celebrities are content to pass by panhandlers and beggars without offering a dime, let alone getting out to see if they can be of assistance? Very many. I suspect that many celebrities vote Democrat to alleviate their guilt and conscience. How many of them realize that, like Scrooge, they are content to alleviate themselves from the need to help the struggling and the poor by supporting a government that claims to have the interests of the poor and downtrodden at heart? After all, are there no poorhouses, no orphanages, no job centers? Is there not welfare and Social Security? Those sensitive and compassionate celebrities ought to put their heart, and time where their money is and actually help the poor rather than chastising conservatives for their lack of "compassion."
