#1 This whole topic is ludicrous. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE POOR PEOPLE.

The question is "How poor is poor?"

As mentioned "poor" people today have a living standard that was decidedly middle class not that long ago.

The problems of the "poor" are caused not by a lack of money, but by a lack of effort, morals, models and education. In short a lack of a culture of success.

#2 Don't blame the rich. It's the damn poor people dragging down the curve.

#3 I don't but I do blame socialists and rent-seekers equally for making the west much poorer.

#4 This just goes to show that successful rent-seekers can really pile up the wealth.
