Is it the greed of the Middle Class? Who want more than they can afford, and then
demand more pay, and more benefits? Which only lets the rich raise their
prices? And the Middle Class brings home more money, but doesn't have more any
more money, because everything costs more?
And the rich get richer, and the poor get clobbered?
Of couse it's not your greedy little heats at fault!

The rich spend less than their descretionary income, therefore getting richer.
The poor borrow to live well today (often on credit cards), thus getting even poorer.

The Rich get richer because they can use their wealth & power to influence people & events to their advantage to accumulate more wealth. The Poor get poorer because there is only so much wealth to go around at any time so the money has to come from somewhere, so it's the poor who collectively pay. The Middle Class is simply caught in the middle, neither wealthy enough to be considered rich, or poor enough to be considered poor. Being caught in the middle like that makes them less of a cause or effect, & more like a passenger on the economical train.

Hate to break it to you, but most of america is middle class. And being middle class is not even that easy, most of the middle class cannot afford health insurance and live payday to payday. Its the fact that insurances and medicine cost more each year. And that people as a fact do not a get a raise to cover this. Everyone gets hurt..sorry to disapoint you...but thier are more people in the world who have troubles than you.

It's a known fact that the rich get richer because they believe they
can and the poor who choose to be poor are so because that is what they believe, and the poor who believe they can become rich,become rich. That's a fact that is beyond contest.

Simple ....... The rich get out and do the things that make them richer!!!!!!!!!!and while this is going on.........inflation goes up.... and the poor don't do anything to help themselves get richer. So............. They become more poor!
If you truly seek riches(not important to me)........get out there and make it happen! This is America. No better opportunity in the world
It's called capitalism...... would you prefer socialism? ...... how about communism?

This life is just a test from God.
God said that if it was good for me or you to be rich in this life it will be easy for him to make it for us and if it is for our good to be poor he will make it for us.
why?
everything is about his wisdom and his foreknowledge, he is the just. Everybody will get what he deserve.
God says that this life is not the final one, the true one is the eternal one, so anybody who strive hard for this life and forget himself in it and doesn't care about the commands of God and worship others than him and is arrogant when the message of God get to him ,will be blind in this life, and God will keep sustaining him and making him richer, until he think that nobody has power over him.and at that time if he dies, no money will help him, no power, just his deeds and what he did as worship for God.
But know that God will keep guiding anybody to the truth and give him signs until his death because he is the most merciful and the most forgiving if someone repent to him. but if he doesn't he will be the looser.
the same thing for the poor, don't think that God punishes them but God , by his wisdom, know that these guys will be misguided if they get rich in one stage of their life before guidance, so God want something from them, he wants them to go back to him, to ask him to change their life, to ask him for guidance and to accept him
God is one.
