なぜ主述が逆になっているのか教えてください！ → これは、主語の部分(主部)が長いために、V+Sとする「倒置」です。
※did(V) <people(S) … $200,000 a year＝主部>
もし倒置でなければ、以下のような文になります。
The poorer people(S1) gave(V) 44 percent more of their money(O) to the stranger than people(S2) <making(現在分詞＝形容詞：前の名詞(people)を修飾) between $150,000 and $200,000 a year> did(V2：代動詞＝gave).

参考にしてください。
