The Rich Will Always Be With Us

The fact of the matter is this. The top level can be knocked down over and over again. No matter what, there is always going to be someone who is considered to be rich. Now the rich might be at a lower profile but they are still above most others. So if that level gets knocked down, then the people at a lower level will be rich. Over and over again, until the end of the time. Even if everyone starts off with nothing, eventually someone is going to rise above everyone else. It is just the natural order of things. People are not going to be equal on a financial level. It is just the truth about society. For better or for worse, there are going to be people who are higher up on the social ladder of the things. That's just the way everything is going to be work and in many ways, it works that way for a reason. If the rich lost everything, then who is going to create the jobs that the common man needs to live. A bit of this happens in the current society but it would be worse if the rich were completely undercut.

That's okay. That's better than those communist societies where talent and skills are suppressed because they suspect you of getting ahead of others. We need this freedom of gaining wealth, for this, our society prosper.

it's probably not democracy but communism that idealizes equality among all the people. although democratic government's do try to distribute wealth by making the rich pay higher taxes and then using the money to provide education and health care for the poor; but it never substantially reduces the wealth of the rich. i've read a book which says that societies will always have the high-middle-low classification (it's 1984 by george orwell, in case you want to know about it). and i agree. even communism has failed to create an equal society. so i also agree that the rich will always be there. what we can do to is to increase the size of the economic pie, so that the low's share should relatively increase.

In democratic country, the situation is just the same. No guarantee that the rich will help the poor or the nation. I regret about that. If one richman help one poorman, the poverty will vanish. For me, I don't care what is on earth the ideology being applied. I care about how we can eradicate poverty and create the more human life. That's the life should be. Giving each other, very nice lines.
