Nobody in politics or higher than the lower middle class really cares about other people.

Well, no, technically nobody with political power cares about other people outside their class interests because the material conditions make it impossible for them to fully understand what needs doing.

I’m talking about the bourgeoisie, not “the middle class” which is a meaningless nonsense term.  Do you own the means of production?  No?  Then you’re not a member of the bourgeois, for christ’s sake.
