You have a computer.  You probably have a decent home, a car, fridge, dishwaser, washing machine, food mixer, TV, HIFI, CD player, more than one pair of shoes, several pairs of jeans, shirts.  There are a lot of people around the world, including in Latin America who do not have those things.  They think you are rich because you are.

Sorry, you have just shown that you do not have what it takes to become rich.  It takes work and time.

Disadvantage is that some people are becoming more rich while others are becoming more and more dependent on them. Advantages- those rich people can help others, the standard of living must increase for all people.

We have created a value out of possession.  There is nothing great about being rich...  Real Richie's are always made through some swindle breaching the system getting things out of turn.  Individuals who really work hard for a better life are few and do not normally make it among the really rich.\n\nRichies is largely to do with inheritance, possessing social capital, use of cunning and sometimes being plain lucky.\n\nWhile poverty is to do with circusmtances.  While there may be some druggies who may refuse to work for their living, greatest number of the poor in the world are engaged in an exploitative relationship... a form of subsistence slavery out of which there is no escape.  Its grossly unfair to term half of the world population which is surviving under impossible conditions as lazy and less dignified than those who make it easy because of inherited privilege and then claim to be smart.

The poor always suffer.\n\nThe following are facts about persons defined as "poor" by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports:\n\n    * Forty-six percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.\n    * Seventy-six percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.\n    * Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.\n    * The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)\n    * Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 30 percent own two or more cars.\n    * Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.\n    * Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.\n    * Seventy-three percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an automatic dishwasher.

There are a number of reasons. The riches are exploiting the poor. In the industries the workers are not getting their remuneration according to the labor they provide there. The rich countries are exploiting the developing counties. Corruption is another reason. The person who has power in hand earns money through corruption and that money belongs to the people of the country. If the money is properly distributed among the people there can not be any poverty in the world.

Many people are prejudiced against people they perceive to be poor. At least you got to see how it feels to be on the receiving end of that, and hopefully you will help and be friends with those who are deserving instead of blaming them for their circumstances. No disrespect meant by my comment--we all learn something new (hopefully) every day.

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.

Lack of something in their lives that they think these communities can provide

The poor in this country live quite well. While there is still a lot to be done to help these individuals, they themselves should be doing a lot more. Being poor, in my opinion, is a choice in most cases. Not so in most of the world, where conditions force billions of people to live many times below the American Average poor person. Work and resources are not available even to those that work very hard. In America, however, there is so much opportunity that to be poor is very hard for me to understand.

People who live in heavens do so because they have wealth that they have either inherited or earned or swindled. There are two types of people in this materialistic world - the 'haves' and the 'have nots'.

We won't know the answer to that one until we can get the answer to why God gives to some , so they are rich and others are poor.............somethings are just not quite so easy to figure out...........

Yes, for people to be considered wealthy there must be people poorer than them or we would all be equal which would redefine wealthy.
