Why do people chase poverty all over the world?

The people who do this are trying to help a sagging acting career, in the case of politicians they are trying to gain name recognition to further their political career.

There really is no Black or White answer to this question.  Even though, I am sure there are many "rich" people in the world who are nice, I've seen many more who are not so much.  In my experience, money has a tendency to change people, even when that person has the best intentions at heart.  Although I would love to have more money, I would never wish to be "rich", only comfortable enough to be able to support myself, with no loose ends.  I may be going agains the grain, here with my answer, but I think I lean more towards "poor".  Those who are poor, or live from paycheck to paycheck, tend to appreciate the small things as we all should.  "Poor" people do not care about having extravagant houses or 5 cars, one for each day of the week; they are content with a roof over their family's head, a meal for each night, and an old dependable clunker to get around in.

Cause all countries are not equal... And I'm not talking just language. Economic opportunities, the cost of living, wealth distribution, and much more would never allow this to work in the current state of the world. I guess what I'm saying there really isn't a globalized world yet, cause in reality none of that is being exchanged perfectly. If free movement was allowed it'd be chaos, whole economies would be brought down. A lot of people would move in search better life, higher incomes, education, heck even visit, I'm sure a larger part of countries in Africa, countries of India, China, multitudes of other would experience a huge loss of population as they are still working on their economies and appropriately not everyone is content. \nAnd, to those who object to this, because they say everyone would move to US, that is not true. Many if they had the choice would not choose to live here. As long as an individual can make a decent living in his own country he is not uprooting his whole family to move to a country whose lifestyle he often resents just to make money. Money is not all that matter. Many would choose to come here and work, yes, but most of them would also go back and use that money in their country instead and live comfortably. Which is yet another flaw in free movement, as you proposed, we don't even have a currency that is equalized, and tons of people would be taking advantage of that...

Because there are people in the world who want that which they have NOT earned, whether in the realm of morality or reality.

Because Rich people always want everything and can just go out and buy it, no having to question how it will effect them, and poor people always appreciate what they have because they have to work so hard to get it. I know I was happier when I was a single mom making squat. Now it just seems that I have $$ and can have more things easier and it doesn't seem to be as much a a thrill to get things.

most of the motivation comes from econimic need.  this has always been disguised with political or religious beliefs, but it all comes down to money.\n\nthe more land a country has the more resources and wealth they can accumulate.\n\nHittler wasn't unlike any other historical dictator: he believed he deserved to rule the world.

Money isn't why some people are poor and have no jobs (which is still bogus, because they COULD go out and get a job).  Greed and human gluttony is the real problem.  Blaming money for starving people is like blaming your pencil for misspelling a word.

Most countries outside of the United States do not have the magnitude of opportunities for increasing ones income because here in the US we have three classes of people, Ultra Rich, Middle Class and Poor. Most third world countries have two class groups, Ultra wealthy and poor. This means that in the United States you have more people that can afford your goods or services. But your quetion was how do they do it here?\n\nFirst of all people that don't have much don't spend much. They save every penny that they earn. They don't beleve in credit, they pay cash for everything they have. If they don't have enough money to by what they need then they will save their money until they do. They will do without  luxury items like $5.00 expressos at Star Bucks. They don't feel like they need to be entertained every second of the day and are happy in company of family members.\n\nAlso unlike most American families they pool their resources. They are very tight nit and work together to acheive a common goal. they take every advantage of the educationl resources that our country has to offer. They are not worried that someone in the family will have more than they do. While most young American families spend 600 dollars a week for child care, Immigrant families have extended family members that will take care of the children while they work two or three jobs.\n\nIn observing the Asian culture you might wonder how they can afford such expensive homes, The truth is they can't except that 3 or 4 families will by a property together, They don't buy luxury items like furnture, curtins, luxurious carpets or paint to personalize the House. It is meerly an investment. When the property value goes up they sell, and now four families can buy another property. The cycle continues and they become very wealthy.

the world is like this because people who feel their voices are not heard. usually start blowing things up to draw attention to their causes.\nthe world is like this because of the lack of tolerance between people of different beliefs. \nthe world is like this because most of the people who have more then enough are blind to the people who don't have anything.\nand please don't talk about donations made during the holiday season. because people who are hungry then are just as hungry for the other eleven months out of the year.\nthe world is like this because of the lack of decent education world wide.\nthe world is like this mostly because unless your life directly effects mine I could really give a shit what happens to you. that sums it up pretty well I think

People's personal blights, ie poverty or education, or not the responsibility of goverment. It is that person's choice where they are in life. In modern american society it seems that everyone wants to blame someone for the way they ended up, or make an excuse for why someone else is doing better than them. \n\nIt is a fact that some people will do nothing more than what is ABSOLUTELY nessacary for survival on that particular day. Some people will do more, and some will do everything they can to get better off than others. \n\nTo directly answer the poverty % quest... It all comes down to what the person doing the survey wants the number to be. A person living in per-say Montana with a small farm grwing there own food not really having a need for money is in poverty. But if you ask them they may say they are doing fine as all of their needs are met. A multi-millionaire that has no job (doesn't need it duh) and has no investment income (poor economic move) is considered in poverty by IRS standards. So it all comes down to what poverty number do you want to have?\n\nOn a side note, I fix up houses as a business. With the way the tax code is structured I can write off almost all of my income to business expenses. IRS paper work I made $9300 last year for a family of 3 (sole income earner). My actually net from the business for the year was $102,000+(not rubbing it in). I have been contacted multi times for Gov't assistance because we are POOR. LOL

There are many a reasons for poverty a few are:\n\n1.The govt policies plays the major role in the eradication of poverty.\n\n2.In a few coutries even today  people are working under landlords to fulfill the debts made by their great grandfaters.(what ever they earn is taken by the landlords)\nit cuases "Rich to get still richer and poor still poorer".\n\n3.Selfishness of people(there are large families living even if each one donate 2% of their profit/income that will make a large sum should be helpful to uplift poor one's)\n\n4.Alchol...in most of the countries the poor people get the chance the reframe their lives...with what ever a little amount they earn but the addiction to alchol....take away the chance!!\n\n5.Dishonest politicians.....remember the developed coutries and many minority/christian orginizations send millions of dollars ...but they do not reach the right people(poor)...infact these so called politicians transfer the amount to swiss acounts.\n\n6.The hectic life styles and lack of spirituality...Im sure every religion...[ex:in Islam it is called zakat(donating some %age of amount to poor)]....what ever religion...every religion encourages the charity and donations to poor.\n\n7.Others are standard reasons which we have studied in our books like unemployment...population....\n\n:)

The reason for poverty in America is the politics's of greed, or Repuglicans in general. I have mine and I want to make more therefore I do not want to pay taxes and to hell with anybody else. Being poor is no more a choice then homosexuality. It is thrust on 10% of the population by another 10% of the population the very rich. I wonder why of for what reason that a person needs every cent of their billion dollars and there are many billionaires here. There is also a thing with corporate greed. Move the good paying jobs with health benefits overseas to a place where people work for pennies. But do you see the price come down on anything because of it. The answer is a big NO. Socialized medicine is long overdue here it is needed by all, not just an elite few. Every one in the United States should have a birthright to three things food, shelter and health care.

To my opinion, I don't think poverty will ever become history. No matter how good the economy is, there will always be people going through wealth and poverty. There are tons of people in this world and there are always not enough food to feed people. The world can't benefit everyone, anytime.

If you are referring to celeb in US and UK or Europe, well most of these countries are developed, and although poverty and lack exists everywhere, third world countries have more of it and people do not have the right mentality to combat it or the right environment to be able to change their current situations\n\nplus they get more publicity that way too............

Yep. look at Togo most of their country lives in poverty and they want more and more money. They even attempted to boycott their soccer game at Germany because of a pay dispute.\n\nSo although there might be sum who do it for the love of the game they are very scarce.
