I don’t know anyone who got more conservative as they got older. Usually the opposite, in fact. However, wealthy people do seem to get more conservative as they move to protect more and more of their wealth. It coincides with age, so it seems like a causation.
We aging and still working people are compassionate because we’re still working hard just to survive.
