Yes. But no one is poor if everyone is poor. Poverty is a relative term. It's basically inequality in disguise.

- geggam 7y agoMan is created with equal rights but not equal talents or intelligence. If there is any luck in life its the genetic lottery.
- theseadroid 7y agoWe can go into the debate of how much inequality is healthy for a society to encourage innovation and hard work. However in many parts of the world and even U.S. I would say many talented and intelligent people didn't even get the chance to work hard to earn something because the society didn't provide them such a chance. Your personal experience is moving but the reality is many people are rich not because they worked hard and many poor not because they were lazy. Those (extreme) inequalities are a result of injustice. If a society is too unfair, that will surely discourage people to contribute to the society.
- geggam 7y agoWhen society gets too unfair the poor have a way of equalizing the social status. Typically via violence. History shows us this.
