That would be ideal, but the world doesn't work that way. In a sense, it's slowly seemingly to become this way, as the more money printed the less value it holds. Ecconomies are on the vurge of colapse due in large to this pandemic, and prior ressessions.

People are rich because they do things to become rich and poor people are poor because they do not do things to become rich. This is not meant to be a comment that is disparaging. Just stating what is most often a fact. Rich people work very hard (and this is not to say that some poor people do not), and they take on risks, they create and invent things, they start businesses and employ people. They live frugally, save, and invest their money. They take great care and precision in their money matters. They see all of the massive opportunities out there for them to take advantage of and prosper and they do it with fervor. Not ALL poor people are lazy of course. But many poor people are not willing to put in the work it takes to become rich. They do not have the guts to take risks. They do not take the time to understand money and the stock market. They do not take the time to learn how to take dreams of starting businesses and turn them into actual businesses. Most poor people also spend every single dime they have, and then wonder why they have nothing. And MANY poor people have no concept of the hard work rich people put in to maintain and develop their wealth. In summary you can say one thing here that is very fitting to answer your question. The main reason for poverty is a lacking by the poor how wealth is actually created and tap into the many opportunities before them to become wealthy. As for redistributing my own wealth. Hands off my money. It's mine. I worked for it. If anyone wants a piece of wealth I will gladly show anyone how to get their own money.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." I think one of the main world's problems is greed for power. If people don't know how to fish, they'll be forced to beg for fish and that makes them vulnerable (as well as slaves). Individualism is also an issue, most people don't care about each other. Or worse, people don't even trust each other, making them unwilling to share their wealth. I'm no alien, I'm also one of the people with trust issues, unfortunately. At least I'm aware. Poverty might end once everyone starts focusing more on the collective than the individual, but that takes a very high level of spiritual evolution and it feels like we're way behind.

Everyone is entitled to their basic fare. If you earn under a certain amount we have to make sure there is help available through organizations government and more.

The rich people are getting rich because they are hardworking. And the poor should learn from them.

You are either born into money or you are not ..if you are poverty stricken, you are totally controlled.

Hello and welcome to myLot. Enjoy the site! The first thing you should do is to read the Guideline Rules so that you know what is allowed or not on this site. Read around, Like and Comment as much as you can to make yourself known to the community. Although it's not obligatory, it would be a good idea to add the name of your country to your account page to make your posts more understandable. ---- Communism has tried to do this. If you know a bit about history, you'll know that the concept hasn't worked.
This is where you will find out what kinds of behavior are accepted and unaccepted on myLot. When in doubt, remember the Golden Rule!

I wish it will happen but I doubt it because those who are even having lots are the people who give less so how can you expect that. I think the best way is to try to be thankful of what you have if you have income or if not just find something that gives you earnings and be happy with it as long as you got something for your daily needs to spend. If people will do this strategy I think they will not think to depend or wish for rich to share their wealth for all. Just my opinion.
