You can't just say that ethics, morality, caring are universal principles. Perspectives are probably quite different from, for example, the gutter.
Personally, I don't think that what I consider to be sound ethics and morality are universal principles. I also don't believe that your wealth has any bearing on how intrinsically ethical or moral a person is.

I've known people who were very definitely well off whose ethics and morals were highly dubious to put it mildly. And I've known people almost at rock bottom who would and did gladly put others before themselves.
