Cynicism and misanthropy are just words; the trick is being consistent and fair in applying them. Focussing only on the poor means being
unreasonably selective (either because you don't know how to fix it or because you've just become jaded and have stopped caring at all). You can still be a cynic and be engaged, you know
Either they got a better education (from their parents) that they squandered, or they inherited money that they would've never made, but in either case they're better off than the undeserving poor.
