Are The Poor Getting Poorer And The Rich Getting Richer?

June 16, 2017 7:05pm CST
I always hear people talking and saying that "the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer" sort of thing. I'm thinking if this is a mere general statement or saying or is it the real situation in every part of the world?

Well, it's definitely harder to make things better when your poor. Can't afford a better education, can't afford better tools, can't afford to start a business, etc... It takes money to make money so yes I do believe the poor just barely get by and they do keep getting more poor.

Agreed, once you are poor, friends and opportunities are few. There have been social experiments done, where well dressed individuals are helped, while homeless ignored. Unfortunately, image is everything.

I too would think that it is a general statement..I have seen lot of poor people come up in life through hard work and determination. It all depends on the individual .

Yup. Some people through the exertion of tremendous effort helps themselves to improve their lot out of poverty. While some rich people become poor through laziness and spending or wasting their own wealth.

@Shavkat Yes there are wide disparity there between the rich and the poor resulting in social inequality and injustice.
