They say money attracts money. That is true. People who have money have the leverage to manipulate with it, hence gaining from it. Whereas poor people just use it to make their ends meet. Hope this explains your query.

Not true. In the US, the standard of living is going up for everyone. Compare the poorest of the poor in the US, to the poor in Africa. Everyone in this country would be considered rich by those standards.
Rich people pay most of the federal income taxes in the US. The so-called poor do not pay federal income taxes, in some cases. How is that fair?
When a rich person in the US dies, his heirs are subject to confiscatory taxes. The US is the land of opportunity. If you make good use of the opportunity, you can become rich as well. There are people in the US who settle for less, rather than going out and working hard: welfare recipients, drug dealers, thieves. From President Harry Truman, I learned the saying: "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." People who claim the poor are getting poorer cannot prove it to me, even with statistics. The last time I checked, the US government considered $36,000 annual income as the poverty level for a family of four. Think about that amount.

they say the rich get richer and the poor have children, which speak wonders about the type of people the rich and the poor are. the poor notice that material wealth is not the key to their life and that the quest for moeny is an evil thing, where the rich believe the opposite that the acucmlation of material wealth is thier imprint in culture. th epoor give imprintations in different ways.
if you are asking a question about the small mobility in the class sytem we live in all you have to do is realign your thinking and you have the abliity to have upward mobility. do not buy into the belief that you are stuck one way forever, or you will be., there is ways to move up, it takes great sacrifice and dedication and every path is different, but not all are pleasent. some are more inclinde to move faster but do not let you determination sway becasue of others actions, they are merely just others live your own life to your fullest extent.

You are absolutely wrong. While it is true if you have money it is possible to make money easier because you can invest it, it is also true that there are more self made millionaires now than ever before. Look at today's wealthy; whether its Bill Gates, Ted Turner, Michael Jordan, or Robert Johnson, all had very humble beginnings. The difference is the DESIRE to seek a better life through work and education. These leaders all went the extra mile to make their own destiny. Those who fail need to look at themselves. In today's word we have so many opportunities and so many resources available to us, we can only blame ourselves. Some of the most successful people I know personally did it on their own without financial help from parents. Merely on the love and encouragement of their family and their own deep desire to succeed.

How do you answer the question of increase in the number of Millionaires. Also, today's millionaires have worked hard to come up to this level and in the process have given you wonderful inventions, be it a motor car or an airplane or a computer. Moral of the story: Work hard, invent something which is useful to human being, and tomorrow you may also join the millionaires' club. If you do not like to work hard, buy a lottery ticket or go to Las Vegas. Good luck.

It is called taxes . it is what happens when the government gives tax breaks to the rich and the poor people have to pay more . it should be the other way around but the rich do not want to help anyone but themselves . Why don't the rich donate more to the deprived ?

"Government takes from the needy, and gives to the greedy."

It is not a case of "The lower class just isn't willing". Its hard for a lower class to obtain anything without being able to bribe for positions and 'pushes' in the right direction.

Those nice desk jobs pay more than the manual labor... its kinda crap if you ask me.

ur view point seems wrong to me,it should be this way-the efficient person r improving and inefficients going down.Obviously I don't support them who has black money.
But yes concentration should be given to the upliftment of the poor children,children whatever they r should be given similar oppurtunities.
