I don't think lacking empathy is the correct way to interpret people's actions. While I'm sure there are some people who flat out don't care, I think the more accurate interpretation is simply that different people have differing views on how to effectively address other people's "less fortunate" situations.
Yes. Libertarians hold that it is wrong to take money owned by other people in order to distribute it to the less fortunate. They see this as the wrong way to address the problem. They hold that ends (helping the poor) don't justify the means (taking other people's money).
