To rectify a wrong is the highest action a human being can take; in Hebrew it is called Tshuva/Return–compared to a mirror that returns the light to a further spot than the place of emanation. Similarly, when a wrong is committed to the poorer section of the population, used a human experiments to achieve working remedies for those who had funded the research–the rich, is truly historic.
All spiritual texts exalt helping the poor and those vocal adherents to these texts who voted instead for economic health and stability wish to perpetual this long standing wrong. The Cabala explains how to each spiritual illumination in our world is accompanied by an equal opposition–in this case those who pander to the rich.
A mirror is made from a piece of glass with a thin veneer of silver to reflect the light; if the silver is too thick the mirror will only absorb the light–like a bribe which blinds the eyes even of the wise.
Ztadaka/Charity needs to come from the heart, to be given because it is the right thing to do; charity is called in the Torah HaMitzvah/The Commandment because all things depend up the intention of the heart.
