It's not about ritualistic religion (which keeps the majority poor) or attempting to understand a book written by some intellectual finite thinker (which does the same). Very few understand their unlimited inherent potential and the majority don't. As long as the majority are blind and so few less are visionaries... there will always be the wealth minded and the opposite. There will always be friction and there will never be financial equilibrium. The poor will always be 'til we exist no more.

america outsourced alot of its middle class jobs. the false argument is that "we get more affordable stuff by having slave make it". i highly doubt that.

@yuubokumin415 they'd get elected, then the elites would have them asassinated, and the media would blame it on a crazy.

[lee0122333]

@esan1220 what are you implying we're supposed to know? religion? in the wealth of nations, which is one of the bibles of economics, they say the system will find equilibrium between the supply and demand and the rich and the poor through "an invisible hand" aka god. based on that looks like there is no god because poverty has gotten worse worldwide.

[esan1220]

Because of dictatorial leaders in many parts of the world for many generations... many have subtly been kept unconscious of the fact that they were being purposely oppressed which in turn causes them not to have the vision/ determination to find out what they need to know so, that they can do what they need to do to eventually experience what they never have been able to.

[esan1220]

Not blaming the majority who are currently poor (clueless (mind) as to how to overcome their current status) (especially the young), but it's a derivative of godlessness which began at the first point of sin... It's called a generational curse which has been going on for more generations than we can count and is the opposite of being blessed. People don't suffer because of what they know... they suffer because of what they don't know.

@esan1220 Being poor is not a state of mind, it is a real condition that has real consequences. Mainly, shorter lifespan, mental illness, and environmental degradation. All these things affect the quality of life of human beings, and the potential of living a quote-on-quote "good life."

[pame546]

@esan1220 Huh! No! There are plenty of people who are happy and somewhat knowledgeable who are poor. Poverty, in America, means the insecurity of not having the necessary things to survive in America such as food, clean water, and shelter. Hence, the word insecurity. If u look around the country these things are not a given in many poor towns, cities, and neighborhoods. There are also environmental and psychological issues that goes along with being poor.
