Answer 1

It depends on how you look at it. Would you rather be spoiled and pampered and have everything you need handedeto you, but not be able to go pee without asking??...OR
Would you rather live under a bridge and be able to do whatever the frick you wanted?

Answer 2

No doubt poverty is better in freedom because in a free market like in the US, anyone can learn the skills to build wealth. That is why capitalism is a better answer for poverty than Socialism/Marxism. This is a huge point because poverty in freedom allows the have nots to have--if they are interested. And many are. Whereas in a Socialist/Marxist state there is not the option to learn new skills and succeed. In those states the government tells you what you can or cannot do. So wealth there is not true wealth because you do not have the option to grow and learn new skills to serve others. The trend in the US, where the media dislikes capitalism and free markets, seeing the huge govt as the answer, is indeed selling people on the value of Socialism. So the notion of poverty in freedom is fleeting. The US won't be free much longer because the govt is creating huge layers of beauracracy to rule over us--and that is what people want. And I honestly don't know of any other countries that have real freedom except Australia. So poverty in freedom will soon be irrelevant and it will soon be poverty in slavery for many once the government shuts capitalism down, which they will.

Answer 3

Lots of people claim that "poverty in freedom is better than wealth in slavery". And yet many of these same people have 9 to 5 jobs. You could argue that by working 9-5 they are choosing to spend most of their days in slavery to their bosses in exchange for wealth, whereas they could also be unemployed and have "poverty in freedom". In light of that do they really believe what they say? Just a thought.

Answer 4

You are free as a person, unlike slavery
In poverty, at least you have the ability with the government's help to get out of it through soup kitchens, welfare, homeless shelters, etc. and you can easily get a job at walmart or mcdonalds.
However, with wealth in slavery, no matter how hard you try, you will NEVER be free. You will never have the chance to be free and be a human being like you can in poverty.

Answer 5

Your comparison does not make any sence.

First of all, I don't think that too many wealthy people live a life of slavery. The poor, the social outcasts, the powerless are subjected to slavery, not the rich.

Second, Living a life in poverty, for many people, does not have anything to do with freedom. Poverty means among other: no money for education, no job, no future for a job, no money for health care, no money to clothe you children, no money to feed your children, no money for transport, no money to live, social exclusion, bad health care, inadequate housing, etc etc.

Answer 6

Are homeless people in better condition than celebrities?


Celebrities are usually wealthy but are in slavery, they have obligations both officially and unofficially, and they are sometimes forced to do things. They might not pay some taxes, but they give 'charities', 'donations', 'investment', and so on.


In George Orwell's "1984", the Party members are very miserable in comparison to the Proles. Also while the Inner Party members looks more wealthy than the Outer Party members, they are more chained and restricted.

The Proles have lots of freedom in comparison to the Party members.

Answer 7

freedom takes many forms.most people on earth live in poverty but few of them are free of the constraints that keep them this way.
wealth in slavery in its true sense is very rare.with wealth you can usually buy whatever you need,except health.
you will have to expand thinking to flesh out this intereting question.

Answer 8

In slavery if ur wealthy, it dosen't really matter, the people who own or control u can take it away whenevery them want. In slavery they can take anything away from u without u having a say. they can take ur home, ur family and ur life. If u r free; even if ur poor, they might not b able 2 take away ur wealth, but they cannot take away ur job, family, life, possesitions for any reason. You have a better chance of staying alive in a place with freedom then u do in a place without it. because without it there really is no strong gov.; and with no strong gov. there can b no order, and without order people die.

Answer 9

In essence true. But, free men build and make a life for themselves as well. Depends on your definition of poverty and riches. This really can go on!

Answer 10

Freedom is one of the greatest values in the world and the more freedoms the better.
