I serve the rich to help them get richer still

I don’t serve the poor so much as much I help the rich.
I am a corporate worker.
I help the super rich get better wine home.
I contribute very less for a poor man’s home.
Am I making the rich richer and the poor extinct by poverty?
My question is how can a poor employee me?
The answer is through Educating the poor.
A fight which can never be fought so well any other way.

If I am reading you right, I mostly agree with you. A poor man has never employed anyone but a government worker. Poverty is mostly a choice. Granted, it depends on where you live. In the United States it is certainly a choice. In some third world countries there are circumstances beyond the control of the many and they are victims of circumstance in many ways.
The way it works here in the United States is, a man builds a business and that business generates a profit. Those profits create the demand to hire workers. Poor people need jobs and take them for the business that is created. The rich man gets richer, but so does the poor man through his employment.
IF the poor man working for the rich man is wise, he learns from the rich man, invests in businesses himself, saves and invests his money and gets ahead along with the rich man.
If the poor man never takes the time to learn how to become rich...
He will always be poor.

In India the poor lack that education and work as labourers which never makes them rich.

@aninditasen I don't think education has a thing to do with becoming rich. Granted, again we are talking about India and I come from the perspective of how things are in America. But most of the richest people here in the United States do not have college degrees. It's a fact.
Being smart about money and investing is how people get rich. Not from working. Working is IMPORTANT, mind you. But it is not the means to an end. If one does not know what to do with the money they earn, none of it will ever matter in getting ahead in the long run.
Learning how to earn it is one thing. Learning how to grow it is entirely another.

It's not enough to educate the poor. We should stand up against these wicked corporates. If you could write this discussion, you can highlight corporate mismanagement here.

@Aakk77 Education is primary but we have lots of educated unemployed youth in India who are struggling. We have to try and make India a place where people get good job opportunities.

@aninditasen is good job the problem or is good education the problem? I think the right education can —always —- create jobs even from dust like coal waste is also a job opportunity for some.

@Aakk77 You should be. Without the rich, no one has the opportunity to ever BE rich. Think about it. How does one become rich if they don't have a job, and how does one invest in businesses if a) they do not exist to invest in and b) there is no market to invest in?
The rich are the ONLY reason the poor ever have a chance to NOT be poor.
The TRICK for the poor is to not just work for the rich, and do the bidding of the rich. The trick is to LEARN how not to be poor and LEARN how to become rich. To not look down on the rich, but rather to let the rich be a lesson and an example that it is possible. Learn what they did. Learn about the risks they were willing to take. Study them and then copy them.
There is no other way.
