social class has always been an inverted pyramid.
is there anyway we can ever reverse this?

This is a rough go for us all and for anyone. For each of us are bitten by this same precision in some form or manner. Poverty is one of many 'causes' -- or symptoms !
Aside from relativistic spins on this all, the process analysis, that is to say, the 'how to' help rests truly with each individual as shown by some one dedicated individual, which, if not evidenced within the family itself, who must and can truly focus on the individual. Following the focus on the individual is the focus on the collective of which that individual is part -- which is usually but not always the family. I say not always because some simply are not family beings but lone beings, which difference requires still a difference again to resolve of events and circumstance.
Both professional and lay-people alike have to coalesce on a common theme and focus there, and carry to its respective resolve and in accordance with the conditions at hand and contingencies needed to succeed at best-laid plans.
This without exception, is a rough go indeed, requiring tremendous work on the one or ones who step foward to brave such tasks.
This I say, such resolves are coming -- slow -- but such is indeed showing increasing good indications nationwide if not the world over now.
But again, rhetoric will never do but rather pure dee action!
The moment a muse or thought strikes one as to what he or she might do, he or she has to move on it.
Poverty often is a by-product of the mind fixated too much in the prospective; and behind this, aversion, judgement exhibited by the observers, who would do best to act than talk.
The very moment that one can ask, 'Why doesn't....? Or 'You need to...!,' that same person has to at once initiate the very action that he or she suggests needs initiating.
Who will do it? -- you will !
And that and this is just one ticket out poverty.

Your question though quite relevant needs a very long answer.
First I believe every person who does his job to his best ability is helping the poor help themselves.
About the inverted pyramid we have it in every sphere. The least educated become politicians, somewhat educated are bureaucrats and the most educated are technocrats. In any organization the politicians rule, the bureaucrats pass orders and the technocrats have to execute. When this is reversed the rest will follow.

The first thing on the list for my welfare clients is to get them into some sort of educational program, whether it be GED, tradeschool, or Votech. Education is the key I think to get people off the system. Though it is hard to motivate people to get off their azzes and try to better themselves when they have been on the system for generations and thats all they know. Of course it doesnt help that others in their community think they are sell-outs to whitey when they do try to improve their status.
Free handouts only help in the short term, not long term. The only way I see to help these people is to educate them enough to see that they can do better if they apply themselves and stop blaming other people for their problems. Sadly, it doesnt work as often as I would like and they teach their chilrens to live off the system too. I have some great success stories, but the percentage of success is far too low. Oh well, job security for me.

Why should the poor help them self, when all most of them have to do is put their hand out and our government puts something in it? While social programs are helpful to most, they are, long term, highly destructive in that they have created a dependent underclass. Conservatives seem to grasp this concept because they know that being self reliant builds self respect and subsequently respect for others. Liberals, on the other hand, promote social programs as a means of assuring the vote of the dependent underclass.

You can help poor people to help themselves by knowing and making friends with them consistently until gaining their trust to you. And do some practical things like: (community development) building public toilet, coordinate with medical and dental missions agencies then bring it to their place or anyone, anygroup that could assist them to help in their livelyhood, etc. this is to show your passion and commitment in helping them. Because of what you've done it might influence and encourage them to help themselves.

Education. Somehow they have to be taught the value of independence and pride in self-achievement; even the little things.

Education and a sense of purpose is the key.
