Can a person be poor and still be considered a person of high class?

Definitely!  All the things that you have mentioned are attained through a good upbringing.  You need not be rich to bring your children up with class.

I see the answer in the question, If you are rich,then you are keeping it all to yourself, laying up treasure on earth.If you gave the money to feed the hungry, house the homeless,pay doctors for the ill, then you would no longer be rich,in the earthly sense.

you pretty much answered your own question being rich is the key word in this day and time if you don't have money you don't count to a lot of people which i think is pretty bad i think every one should the best of health care with or without money just because you aren't rich doesn't make you any less of a person money cant buy you  a place in heaven

Being poor and being bad is different. I dont know what others have made you or your country men to believe, but poor or not bad. If someone does something bad then alone they are bad, whether they are rich or poor or whatever... I think whether it is Americans or whomsoever it be, being poor is something very sad if they cant get essential things for life... All Americans can never be bad. I am not American but I certainly would say that it is not to be generalised. Probably there is some gap in people's understanding...I think it exists in most countries.

=the poor working class tends tends to be more generous because life has always been a tougher challenge for them and the can relate to the needy whereas the wealthy walk on by or read about it.

That is decided by each individual and what they value the most.  Some people do not consider lots of money to be wealth, but rather their family, friends, etc.  Some people only count sentimental possessions as wealth.  Some people count their talents.  As I said, this is a question that is decided by each individual person.

You could be the richest person in the world.  Bill Gates, the richest person in the world, only has a high school diploma.  He did go to college though, but dropped out because he was too bored with it.  Just think of what this world needs, invent it, and make as much money off of it as you can.  Never sell yourself short.

I would support anyone who helps out this cause and have myself on occasion, however the simple fact remains that they are poor because we are rich. There isnt, as many like to say, enough to go around, not if we want to maintain our current standard of living.

We upper class only like to associate ourselves with others who, like ourselves are financially overendowed.\n\nOnce you meet the required standards, do not fear, we shall invite you to join our social outings, and expensive get togethers aboard our yachts.

It's not forgotten in fact it's one of the riches countries....There is just a huge gap between the poor and the rich. The rich are extremely rich and the poor are extremely poor. They don't have a true middle class.

Yes very much so. Apparently people are not reasonable enough to handle have this privilege. Sometimes one bad irresponsible person ruins it for all.

Nope, never had that happen. Poor people tend to stay poor. Rich people tend to be stingy!

I don't think you need an underclass for society to operate. A country like Sweden for example provides a reasonable level of education for all it's citizens. They as a result don't have much of an underclass and they are very prosperous.\n\nIt's obvious there are people with a vested interest in maintaining and underclass to provide cheap labor.\n\nThey have a lot of people fooled.

Absolutely. But it is not correct nor pleasant.  It is disrespectful to call anyone crazy.  The only thing that divides the rich and the poor is those that wish to talk about how they differ.  Some of the richest people in the world are the unhappiest.

So much depends upon social class.  Theirs and yours.

It is relative, but in the United States 'poor' typically refers to any individual whose financial situation is insufficient to maintain a 'world class' standard of living for an ongoing period of time.  It also points to anyone unable to afford access to the level of technology, health care and education which is considered obtainable by the work force.  'Poor' is relative to a society's overall level of technological and economic sophistication.
