Without me, rich are poor, and with me, poor become rich. Ideas?

I think that people, men and women, become rich, because they have worked very hard and they deserve it! Whereas, there are enough of them who become rich, because they have a good inheritance and they dont have to work in order to get money! Thats really unfair!

I'm rich\nmaybe not so much in dollars \nbut I am surrounded by the love of my family and friends\nand that that is the best kind of rich there is.

Nope, I'm not rich and I don't plan on being rich. Money is the root of all that is evil and wrong with the world.

Nothing is the answer....rich people need nothing..poor people have nothing and we can't live without nothing...

Nope. The rich and poor countries are intertwined whether they like it or not. The rich need the poor to exploit and the poor need the rich in order to be exploited. There would not be one without the other.

Lack of education and understanding. I feel our schools and society fail miserably to prepare students for life on the outside. When I finally got out on my own I didn't have a clue how to obtain an apartment, phone or utilities. I didn't know how to shop for bargains, balance a checkbook or manage my money. I was raised to beleive that if you work hard you will do well. That is not necessarilly the case. Life is competitive. You either choose to compete or you don't, however, we are not all endowed with equal abillities. Handicaps are not always visible. Some people seem to have been born with everythiong going for them. Others seem to never get a break. I am a healthy middle aged individual. All I have ever wanted is to be able to earn a moderate living. This I have accomplished but it is not a secure living nor is it moderate to everyone's standards. According to most people I have a moderate house, 2 used cars and the abilities to pay the bills and still have a little left over however I make twice as much as the average individual. There are many things I could do without, such as the second car and all expenses incured by it, my multimedia system including my computer, tv's, vcrs'dvds, cell phones... And then, there's all my other belongings such as boats, bikes, fancy clothes, toys, gadgets, dining out, nightclubs and all the expenses incurred therein as well. All this and I live alone! I know many familys with four generations living under the same roof just to survive. Now, here is the point, would I be willing to share it all if I knew I could get a family or even an individual off the street? Would you?\n I think the biggest cause of poverty is a lack of understanding, a willingness to turn a blind eye.\n Laziness? Yes, I feel laziness is the root cause of poverty, not on behalf of the impoverished but on behalf of all of us who continue to allow it to go on, all of us who feel someone else will do something about it.\n How do we fix it? Seek those who have not, find out why not and help them to overcome.\n Put and end to beurocracy, pork barrel programs, illicit foreign aid, tax evaders and gougers so we can have the money it will take to help.\n Teach our schools to focus more on 'Life Economics' and make it a requirement. Identify the individual talents of children and guide them along the right path for them. Don't penalize and ridicule them because they may not be good at math, taking tests or sports. Stop being so damned two dimensional and realise there is a universe of possibilities awaiting all of us if we could only recognise the abillities of all individuals istead of a stereotyped few. Please forgive my longwinded answer but your's was a question worthy of the time. May we all prevail.

it would never work. If we had all the same, no one would collect the trash or do similar jobs, why should they.\nBut I do think that could be a better balance, if the Rich gave more. I ask I much money does one need to be happy, how much is enough, a million, 2 million where does it stop.\nI'm not poor or rich and still I help and give to the ones worse off them me, so if the rich help more this would be better world.

"Stricken" implies that thier situation was caused by someone else. \nIf they believe this to be true, it will be difficult for anyone to help them.\nHelp comes from within.\nTheir will always be "poor", but I would suggest that the poor don't always stay poor.\nSomeone else will take thier place though.\nI think it's a natural progression.\nI was poor once.\nI still think I am poor.\nEven the rich feel this.\nYou always get used to what you have.\nSorry if I don't have a ten-point plan for your question.\nThat's for the politicians to try and sell.\n\nI would add, I think it's kind of ironic how the left says "we need more jobs" but always wants to over tax the people who create them. You cannot let your hatered for "the rich" overwhelm you. Become a valuble asset to the community and the "rich" will need YOU.

is it just the Christians that are rich? and the non Christians that are poor?\nIf God wanted me to be rich then I guess that I am, but not in material wealth, I have my health, and a family that loves me, I have peace of mind, and I live better than i did when I did not have a house, or electricity, or running water, It sure seem like more that only 18 months ago, so I guess i am rich. thank you for reminding me.

Makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Hurts more than helps.

Having known people who are rich and some who are not so rich, I don't find the average rich person to be any sadder than the average poor person. Maybe even slightly happier as they don't have to worry every day  how they are going to feed their kids or pay the doctor bills. \n\nI find that the perception that rich people are sad to be largely in the wishful minds of those who covet their wealth.\n\nBy the way, why is this question in the Math section? Are you trolling?

i think that would be, "why are lazy people poor?" which is  a no-duh!

I'd like to be the pet of the rich myself, that's would be nice.

I'd rather help the poor, because generally, the rich tend to be corrupted by their wealth(it's happens easily, even to the best of us.)The poor, by default, tend to know what REALLY matters in life.
