the rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer

Yes it is sad, and it does appear that way. I class myself as a poor person financially because I do not have any money saved away, the money I get is used up everytime I receive it, on bills, food, household needs and clothing my children. I have found recently, perhaps because things have got more expensive that, my money does not go as far as it always used to, and so I feel poorer. This time last year I had savings, this year I have nothing, and all I try to do is look after my family. The rich have got money, therefore as you say they can use that to invest over and over again, always making a profit and a little extra money. I don't want to be filthy rich, but I would like to live a little more comfortable, without struggling from day to day and week to week etc, to find the money to pay bills.

I do not think that the situatio really applies to my country. Before the government started the 5 year plan programme, which is now in the ninth plan, more than half of the population fell under the poor category. Now the percentage is much lower. There are people who say that the economy is in a bad state with many people living under severe poverty. I would like to refute this since many poor people are no longer poor. They can afford to own vehicle, and even their own homes. At the same time I do agree that there are rich people in my country who are getting richer. As a whole I can say that almost everybody is getting richer, even those who claim to live in hardship. It boils down to attitude which has been discussed above.

There is some evidence that this is true. And it's sad...

Yeah its really sad. People who are rich just get richer, because life it is just that way. If you think about it, every cent you gain is taking a cent from someone else. So, to have rich people you would have to have an equal amount of poor people. That is why you should try to give away what you got to balance out the rich/poor more, which is probably the best solution there is.
